As much as I try to adopt a pen and paper approach (hipster pda, thanks nora), I have a similarly unsuccessful arsenal of online attempts: Outlook at the office, backpackit.com, del.icio.us, google reader, google calendar, my own desktop calendar, etc etc etc. Sometimes it seems I need more than 12 step or 7 habits to get through 1 day.

With twitter, gmail, Facebook and about 80 RSS feeds, I have trouble keeping track of it all even with google reader (believe it or not I do use a lot of these tools for work). Maybe I should just cut back. J. I need aggregator big time.

I follow many (many) wikis and blogs using RSS - work stuff, the spark wiki (of course), interesting blogs, flickr streams, ... A great RSS client can make all the difference - you can quickly scan only headlines, or read the full articles - it's up to you. Lee LeFever has a great video explaining RSS in Plain English: <a href="http://www.commoncraft.com/rss_plain_english" rel="nofollow">http://www.commoncraft.com/rss_plain_english</a> Highly recommended if you don't quite get RSS yet.

I think these compilation blogs are used for attackers to attack people. I've been reading an 'anonymous' blog through WIRED, and three times I had people trying to get my IP address and access my computer as well. I feel these are just as dangerous as anything else. But I'm just one person. Well I disagree. I think these compilation blogs are used for attackers to attack people.
