We are all users…

and the internet’s a drug……

Ecademy is my coffee – I have it relatively fat, strong, and unsweetened, latte with an extra shot please.

The last few days I was reminded again that none of us “use”in the same way. when we go to Café Nero, or Coffee #1, or Starbucks or … The array of choices is massive but the product is similar. But I drink my coffee in the shops that meet my needs best and let me do what I need to do the way that I want to.

Same on Social Networking sites like Ecademy.

I tend to view content through RSS in Google reader, It’s rocket fast, everything is quick and at one level superficial until something gets my attention. I read the headlines and a few lines and click through to the content if I want to comment. Sometimes I share them from Google reader to the people who follow me there, and sometimes I click through and engage with them at source directly. I may tweet too. The best public groups on the Social Media sites I use get sent to google reader too, where they have RSS feeds anyway.

BTW Google reader is colour blind – no stars there except starred content. It’s the content that matters.

Addictive thing Google reader, it makes things easy, then it integrates into your life, then you can’t live without it.
