Anything sent within 10 minutes will be mashed together and directed by the creator to be displayed on the user's profile page, any other blogs or social networks for which they have set up "utterz connections". Connections can be set up for blogs such as Blogger, WordPress,TypePad, LiveJournal and blogs using MovableType.
