RSS Me?

Blog Me! IM Me—no Meebo Me! Wiki Me? Twitter Me? Am I a Chicklet? [Probably not—at least, not yet]!

Feed Me? Rss Me? Well, Maybe Me!

i want to be del.icio.us!

Wow! My head is spinning!

A week ago, I had hardly heard of Web 2.0. I was not born in the Information Age. I think my “Tail is Long”— but I’m really not sure! I know that I was not “Born with a Chip!”

I have spent days signing up for accounts—checking them out—trying to absorb them; and honestly, at this point—I have to say that I am suffering from a serious case of Too Much Information!

Yet, I have glimpses of how Web 2.0 is going to help me!

Blogging is my new best friend. For 58 years, I have had thoughts and ideas that I knew I should be recording somewhere—reliable! I have always jotted them down—lost them—typed them into a Word document—lost them—but I think that Blog is going to be a good resource for keeping some things straight—in a place that won’t crash.

[Actually, I read somewhere that there is some speculation that the Internet might crash. I don’t know where I read that—that was before I learned to Blog]!


I am trying to understand RSS and Chicklets—but honestly, at this point, I am almost brain dead!

Everything that I have read says that RSS is the Cat’s Meow!

Personally, I like Dogs!

At this point, RSS has been a source of Information Overload for me; but that problem lies with me—not with RSS!

I have to ask, however, who has time to listen, watch, and absorb all of that RSS?


You can lead this horse to water; but she doesn’t have time to drink!

I absolutely agree that we are currently overloaded due to our recent spike in account sign-ups. But I also agree that it is not about feeds taking over society, it is just about people learning how to manage technology. Once we get over the initial shock, managing feeds will be as easy as managing magazine subscriptions (but a whole lot quicker to read).

I feel the same way. Dragging myself along, tongue hanging out--I feel confident that organization is just beyond the next hill.

Is it a mirage?
