Techno Portal One problem with reading news online today is that browsing can be really slow. A media-rich page loads dozens of files and can take as much as 10 seconds to load over broadband, which can be frustrating. What we need instead is a way to flip through articles really fast without unnatural delays, just as we can in print. Th (Read More)

: Perhaps I'm stubborn, or set in my ways, or just old school. OK, I use many social media services, but for my primary online communication, it's still email for me.

I have a facebook account, and shove things into it, mostly from other services, but I can't say that I've embraced it.

Google, on the other hand, I use for email, docs, maps and IM.

Twitter is great for concise messages, and in fact, I don't even know the phone numbers of many local bloggers nad geeks, I simply Tweet at them.

Sometimes, I bemoan the fact that there are so many social media services around. So much to look at or update. In truth, although, I've joined many, my own habits have, over time, determined which I use most, and which I use so little, I've forgotten about.

: I could really use something like this to better determine how I'd like to use Twitter vs. how I use FriendFeed, since I tend to use the two services for different reasons.
