Blogher asks, "What Is Your Media Consumption Diet?" (3/01/2007) Web: Currently I am subscribed to 377 feeds via Google Reader. If it seems excessive, it's because I had recently imported the another librarian's blogroll, which doubled the number of my subscriptions! I'm de-duping and weeding slowly. Some of the feeds fit under the newspaper category below. I visit websites mostly via referrals. Communication: I have 5 email accounts and subscribe to too many mailing lists. Messages that fit a certain profile get forwarded to my cell phone. I use AIM, Gtalk, ICQ, and Yahoo Messenger the same way I use phones. I logon to Myspace maybe once a week, rarely login to Orkut and Friendster, and just started testing Twitter. In general I haven't found social networking sites helpful, except maybe Flickr, which I use all the time. Most of my contacts still seem to prefer email. TV: I watch one hour of TV a week. I watch Youtube and Google videoes when I hear about specific videos from other people. Books: These days I read one book cover-to-cover every month. I skim about one book a week. Newspapers: I skim the headlines of the Chronicle of Higher Education, Los Angeles Times  , New York Times , and Reuters via RSS feeds.Movies: I watch fewer than one movie per month, but I read about movies via RSS feeds. Music: I listen to FM radio in the car and on my cell phone  , Yahoo Music at my desk, and go to live concerts several times a year.Magazines: For work I read American Libraries  , College & Research Libraries , College & Research Libraries News , Library Journal , Publishers Weekly , and School Library Journal . For fun I read Jane and Real Simple .Check out this meme on Technorati. Tag, you're it! |
