Add the ability to create my own blurblog post

Sometimes I just want to post a link or something small to just a few people. The few people I’d want to share it with all read what I share in newsblur (my blurblog). Give me the ability to create a blurblog post/entry from thin air. This would turn newsblur into a cheap microblogging tool.

This. Basically i want to drop off my twitter account and have a place (with underlying rss feed) on the web where i can post links and statuses.
Is it considered as “bloat”, which I could understand as it’s not exactly a “reader” thing, or is there some hope?

This is a very interesting idea. I’ve heard it before in various ways, but I do want to support this. You just need a title box, a story content box, and a tag box, right? It’ll work like the bookmarklet, as well.

Yes, just those few boxes. The story box can also be very simple, just text and links.

This would be great!
