Using the web

I just posted on my personal blog about how I use the web, looking at how the various technologies (RSS) and tools (Google Reader, Delicious, Twitter) fit together.

You can read the article over there: Using the Web, but I made a diagram of how I use the web that I think is worth sharing here as well (click for a larger version).

That’s how I use the web. How are you using these various tools? Do they have their own place like they do for me, or do you use them more in a mix? Have you done away with RSS or blog reading? Do you still not give a hoot about Twitter?

Now that’s a great idea, encapsulating how you use the web in a single diagram that others can follow. Now I’m going to have to make my own version…

It’s good to do this self-reflection and also see what others do at the same time. Thanks for sharing.

I like the diagram although it doesn’t separate professional/personal use.
Recently, I’ve made more of a separation between professional networking (using twitter) and personal networking (using Facebook). I use Tweetdeck to access both Facebook and Twitter at the same time, which is fabulous, but I use them quite distinctly and try not to mix the two.

One of the things that I didn’t really say in association with this diagram, is that it’s worthwhile noticing that Twitter is not central.

This thought was prompted by a retweet from Steve J. Moore which lead to a blog article with this:

… we’re all becoming very good at passing interesting information on from one to another, but not actually reading and reflecting on any of it.

Tania, I wasn’t really thinking “personal” in creating the diagram. Like you, personal stuff is primarily on Facebook if at all, or Flickr for photo sharing.

But, I do use Twitter for more than education, in particular other areas of interest.

Tweetdeck is available for Mac, but I use Socialite.
