I agree that the option to be alerted when someone comments on my items is a great feature, and helps in keeping track of the information flow.

Overall it's about being comfortable with how much you want to consume, as long as you have the filters in place to ensure that the most important developments are not missed. To me, all the excess is not a problem, if anything I wish I could spend more time going through the info and follow more people! There are so many interesting people and ideas out there.

Hey Jonathan, thanks for stopping by and the subscribe! I hear you - there's
just too much going on all day every day that I wish I could just consume
full-time, sigh. And I haven't even scratched the surface of subscriptions
to the thought leaders. Still, at least with things like PostRank and
Friendfeed's 'Best of', it's possible to at least keep up with the 'ethos'
or major news/trends of the day.

Agreed that the differing perspectives is important - one way I like to
think keeps me discovering new sources is to subscribe to key words in
google search/blogsearch, sometimes I find more obscure posts that are
related to what I'm interested in :) Also, that's why I try to keep thinking
and writing about things that I'm passionate about, even though it may not
be the hottest topic of discussion at that point in time.

Hey Wincent,

Re: louisgray.com: Twitter - the Portal of Web 2.0?

I get what you mean, I suppose twitter has no significant differentiating factor like linkedin or facebook. Maybe it's just wishful thinking, but I do think the twitter community has a pretty strong devotion nonetheless, and as each person's community on twitter grows (esp if it is becoming more mainstream), it'll be even harder to leave. Thanks for your thoughts!

From the responses that were listed, it would seem that not a lot of them are very active on friendfeed. To me, there seems to be 2 distinct communities - facebook (more for real-life friends) and twitter (more for online friends). The twitter crowd may overlap with friendfeed, but more people seem to use twitter than friendfeed actively. And if they're active on twitter and use it to update their facebook, chances are that they don't spend too much time on facebook either. Bottom line - from personal observation, I think for active tweeters, the community they spend the most time interacting with would be on twitter. It's simple and flexible, and helps with participation in other more peripheral communities :)

Re: Is 24/7 Media Impacting the Markets (and our sanity)?

Was interested to read your account from within the industry of how even seasoned money mangers are reacting in a volatile fashion. I agree that the media is at least one factor in provoking the current volatility, especially considering the our present unprecedented degree of exposure. Wrote a blog post that mentioned this article; it would be great to know your thoughts: http://mediageekery.blogspo...

Thanks for sharing your tips Sarah - amazing to think that even social media mavens have limits too, haha. Having a life online definitely requires discipline and some sort of schedule, there's just too much goodness that may not necessarily be in line with one's goals/priorities. Speaking of which, it's getting to 1.30 am here in Singapore so I'd better take my own advice and log off soon :P
