How to make technology work for you!

I must say.. technology is grand!

I’ve been using the above tools with little difficulty. One may argue that Twitter is not needed and is made redundant by Facebook, but I disagree. Twitter is forced to be short and too the point. It also doesn’t mess around with sending hugs or invites to join the ninjas to fight the pirates. I see Twitter as mainly a one directional conversation focused on the here and now. Facebook has become diluted in it’s quality of useful information about your friends.

Anyway, I’ve set Twitter to be updated by my Blog, I’ve also set Twitter to update my Facebook. I have a minor issue at the moment getting Facebook to update my Twitter. Once this is complete, I can use any of my tools to do what I need to without anyone missing out. Facebook status updates (via Facebook) have now become redundant anyway for me since I can describe more on my blog (which gets sent to Facebook) or do a short update via Twitter.

I am now looking for a way to put my Twitter feed  and Facebook feed on my website (functionally easy, but have to consider the design).

Also, my iPhone is saving me heaps of time!

• PDF documents (german phrase books, maps)
• Images (photos of google maps, receipts, menus, train maps, fruit prices etc.)
• Voice recording (German pronunciation, shopping lists, easy note taking, live gigs etc.)
• Camera (nice to have one on holiday)
• Google Maps (can’t get lost now)
• Web connection (find anything anywhere!)
• ENG-GER Dictionary (LIFE SAVER)
• Twitter Apps (update social status quickly and easily)
