How To Keep It Together In A Web 2.0 World
Day by day, it’s getting more difficult to surf the net without losing your sanity. I don’t even mention the risk of getting blind between highly different color palettes.
Well, the trouble is that there are too much source of news out there. You want to stay updated and you don’t want to see bs at the same time. You have to eliminate and decrease your sources of news. Here are some tips to do just that.
Select a couple of technology evangelists and subscribe to their blog only. Keep the number of them at 10 max. Be sure to subscribe to the RSS feeds of Digg’s, del.icio.us’, slashdot’s frontpages and any sub sections that you feel it’s a must read for you.
The trick is that too many people blog about the same news and information but only a few people provide posts with valuable insight and credible information. You have to be selective.
Avoid getting distracted by news about Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, Myspace, and a couple more famous persons and web sites. You can be pretty much sure about that there is nothing new. If there is, you will always get informed by the blog posts of technology evangelsits that you have subscribed.
Don’t be deceived by top ten lists about best Photoshop tutorials, Youtube videos, hosting prices and alike. Those articles are usually made for making the front page on popular social bookmarking sites. If you will have the need, you can always make a search on those link sites and find them when you need them.
And finally, know that the web is for you and you are not here for the web. Web 2.0 is something that you will use. It is not there to use you.
