A piece ‘a Me

Something I’ve been doing recently is going through my Twitter follows and cleaning out news feeds from them. In the vast majority of cases these places have RSS feeds which are easier to manage, don’t clutter up your Twitter stream and are just as easy to get to your phone or PC.

For some, RSS may be less convenient but I find news sites dumping 5 or 10 stories at a tine into my Twitter feed pretty damnably annoying too.

So, today’s mantra is “Twitter for people, RSS for news”.

The last few days I’ve been really appreciating some of the stuff that’s come in over my Twitter. I have to offer a huge thank you to Merlin Mann, who’s ‘Popetiquette’ remarks today had me laughing my ass off in my office at work, twice. Merlin and Nick Douglas between them have given me multiple fits of the ‘Twiggles’ this week.
