Dave Winer says River, I think Tumblr

Just read his scripting entry (http://scripting.com/stories/2012/02/24/whatNewsMustDo.html), and am wondering why someone doesn't do this with a Tumblr site already? Twitter doesn't work for this because all you would see is the links to the stories, and you need at least some context around the quotes as well as some mechanism to tie them together.

With Daily Top Photos I was trying to do something similar in that I was trying to show off Photographers as directly as I could while still feeding them the traffic they needed for ads or sales. However most Photography sites seem to be going the opposite direction - I want to make it difficult if not impossible for you to share the image. The number of images on Flickr and SmugMug where there is no public link got to the point where it was more time to share someone else's photo than to just edit one of my own. The recent 500px redesign dropped their Tumblr links as well.

Of course I fully expect to see Tumblr eventually counter this with their own integrated photo hosting service. If Twitter can do TwitPic, it's the least I would expect.

In any event, I am still looking for the site or tool that would let me do an article like this one, and then format it to be shared easily to the other services. I like Tumblr's option to auto-share to Twitter or Facebook, but it isn't "smart" about it. For example - why doesn't it pass the tags I give the article to Twitter as HashTags? And then there's the lack of pushing to Google+. Not to mention that if I want to share further to Reddit or... well, you get the idea :-)
