@Phil We at Donkey Fluff can’t endorse commen…. oh wait

Its gotten bad with the volume of experts on there .. really think its a case of being just WAY too connected. I do miss it but at the same time its just not productive time for me.

Once I clear up my task list and have worked on a few personal projects I’ll be back to Twitter no doubt (hell I might even be back next week) but I’m enjoying the time out. I’ve just been WAY too connected for a while now.

I’m actually thinking of getting back into using google reader or something similar though suddenly you thrown in a few feeds and its madness again

hehee too late on the twitter thing, I had managed to go for almost 3 years without logging in but got curious recently and thanks to tweetdeck completely sucked in.

Would love if tweetdeck could take my opml file as well though, so I could drop reader and have it all in one place, but then they’d have to rename Tweetdeck “ultimate time vampire” or similar

NOOO! George don’t do it … don’t use the evil twitter

Sorry my wording is a bit off I think I meant to say that I don’t really follow blogs as such, I don’t pull their feeds into any readers .. but I follow their accounts on Twitter which to me pretty much read as RSS feeds that I can snack from. I know that Michele has automated various forums on twitter as well via twitter plugins which I find very cool … its through the Facebook / Twitter plugins that I see whats happening over on IWF

I’ve been using twitter via tweetdeck for a few weeks now but I can’t seem to find a way to add RSS feeds? is there something I’m missing? or do I have to “hack the gibson”

Thanks for commenting

Thats a scary amount of time actually

Granted its all VERY very rough calculations … a tweet with LOL takes 3 seconds to write and send .. but you still have to read the other persons tweet. You are also distracted from work during it. I guess as a freelancer I’ve been using twitter as an outlet of sorts as I’m working from home. But I think its a rather expensive outlet even if my timeline is over exaggerated by 2 … its scary.

Wow, that’s an impressive amount of time spent on Twitter. Now, add the time spent on Facebook and other social sites ……..
Regarding Twitter, I tried Tweetdeck and Seesmic and find them wonderful, but I eventually went back to the Twitter website because I was getting to disturbed by the constant stream of messages sitting on my desktop.
