I haven’t forgotten my write-up of your presentation either, Sean – it’s on my ‘to-do’ list for tonight.

They say the average person makes more decisions in a day now than a caveman did in a lifetimne. If true, then you might be the equivalent of a clan of cavemen!

Some great insights and discoveries on Fleet Street, i must read more. Cheers and good luck with your new post. look forward to continuing the conversation.

Thanks for your comment. I should be clear (I think I was in my earlier post) – I love this lifestyle, despite the challenges it brings.

You’re right – explaining the tools to people in a non-threatening way is a big challenge, and is part of the reason I started up the social media training wiki. Even explaining Google Reader can be tough if you’re dealing with someone who isn’t as tech-savvy as you.

Glad I got you thinking about how embedded these tools are in your routine – that was definitely an objective of this post.

I think you’re just waaaayy ahead of the curve. It would be a huge deal for me if only one or two of your daily online ritual involved some of these tools. If you were using only Google Reader and del.icio.us I think most of us in this space would be impressed.

The biggest challenge is not in trying to figure out what people like you and I do with these tools, but rather how we explain them and engage the masses to adopt these tools.

Imagine the “real life” connectivity (ala Six Pixels of Separation) that will occur then.

I have to say, while reading your post, it got me thinking about how big of a deal these tools play in my daily routine.

Thanks for sharing.
