I might have to check that out though to get a taste for myself.<br><br>Nice to hear from you again.changeforgeTue, 27 May 2008 07:04:53 -0000http://www.changeforge.com/2008/05/26/whats-so-great-about-friendfeed-twitter-etc/#comment-1486460I love the your analogy, "It’s almost as if you are becoming part of the root system of a large tree seeking more and more sources of minerals and water." I entirely agree. I'm trying to get more active with Twitter and FriendFeed for these exact reasons.<br><br>I've been thinking about my Signal to Noise ratio as it concerns my consumption and production of digital content and I find that the best filters are human ones. I need people like you and others that find items that I would not have seen or might have not paid attention to. It is the power of recommendation. Social media and especially social media aggregators like FriendFeed have become essential in correlating information from a number of sources.<br><br>BTW, have you considered posting a link to your Google Shared Items? I love this method of recommending good stuff that I might not blog about.<br><br>ThanksTsudohnimhTue, 27 May 2008 00:15:47 -0000
