[...] Kraftigt inspireret af et indlæg af Amy Gahran tænkte jeg, at jeg lige her på en af årets første dage ville gøre en hurtig status for mig selv over, hvordan mit eget forbrug har udviklet sig med særlig fokus på online medier naturligvis. Du er velkommen til at læse med og chippe ind med dit eget besyv i kommentarerne. [...]

Recently, I’ve been glancing at Twitter on my phone throughout the day and simply “favoriting” links that I might want to read later in the day. Give me a month, and that process will probably change again.

I still use Google Reader every day to search for insightful comments that aren’t echoing inside social chambers.

Regarding your “me collector,” have you looked into lifestreaming platforms? Mark Krynsky’s Lifestream blog is a great resource for that.

I do much more personal reading on the iPhone and Kindle than I ever expected I would. The trouble is: it’s not as easy to share from the iPhone as from a PC (especially links to what I’m reading), and I miss that. As Apple allegedly works on a tablet reader with ties to the multitouch iPhone interface, I anticipate mobile content sharing will become easier, but right now it’s less than ideal.

I think you make some really good points that I had not really thought about.

I know for me, talking on the phone has almost disappeared from my life. I have one friend I talk to regularly, and I call my mom once a week. But everyone else I communicate with through e-mail, Facebook, Twitter or text.

The thing is I feel closer than ever to my family and friends. I was never a phone-calling type. So social media didn’t replace phone calling for me. It gave me a way to connect with people whom I really only communicated with in person (and sporadically) before.

My brother is a great example. Before social media, I’d see him twice a year at family gathering and chat. Never called. But now, I “chat” with him almost once a week on Facebook or Twitter.
Nice improvement.
