Actually the title is slightly misleading.
I have already expressed my undying love for Twitter and indeed use it every day. Incredibly useful, informative if not slightly distracting, it's actually how I start and end the majority of my days. I especially love the lists feature (it's the anal classifying freak in me).
RSS feeds similarly are a regular and convenient feature of my life, greeting me every morning from my iGoogle page. Both of these tools I was introduced to by 23 Things last year and I couldn't possibly do without.
Pushnote however... Errr... I don't see the attraction or point of it. Sorry! It sort of duplicates twitter and RSS feeds without the fun. If any users of Pushnote can convince me otherwise I would happily be converted, but for now, not impressed. Saying that I have signed up, and will probably have a stab at trying to enjoy it over the course of these Things...
I find pushnote handy for retweeting a webpage that I like. I know most web pages have a 'retweet' function but they don't shorten the url like pushnote does.I'm not into the whole friends thing - 'be the first of you friends to rate this page' etc but I'll definitely use it for retweeting the web pages I like. My facebook page is a personal one but the same function could come in handy for a library facebook page. We don't have a facebook page for our library *sigh*.
ReplyDeleteAhh, ok I see now... Its point was really escaping me. I tend to use bit.ly for shortening urls for twitter and facebook. It stores the shortened links and analysis of retweets or click throughs on each link also.
ReplyDeleteI shall attempt to use it this week for twitter and see how I get on.
Cheers for that Niamh!!
