My Personal Information System
How I stay on top of things is constantly evolving. I used to be a Google Reader addict, but at some point the number of unread items just became too high. Also, I felt that there was a lack of filtering, although the sharing feature is ok. I’m quite happy with the system I have now though. It has five lines of defense.
1. Twitter - Everything. Can’t get enough. Bookmarking items with the favorite feature works great. Use it whenever I have some time available.
2. Techmeme and Hacker News - Once or twice a day
3. Google Reader - Updates on essential blogs I might have missed on Twitter
4. Tumblr - Once or twice a day mostly for non-tech related stuff
5. The Hype Machine - Whenever working with music on makes sense
I keep aggregating a ton of blogs in Google Reader, which I have prioritized, since the idea was that it would be good to use it as some sort of database, but it turns out I almost never use it that way.
