Whilst all around rages chaos I’ve just spent a happy hour writing my 3 articles. Smug or what? Just goes to show if you read enough about any subject you can get interested! Powerful learning technique, immersion. How could I have forgotten that?

I’ve abandoned the whole Bloglines/ googlenotebook/docs idea. Just too clunky and too far from my practice. I gave up on Bloglines a few years ago becuase it drove me nuts. Why did I think that had changed? I returned to my old faithful NetNewsWire and set up a host of feeds for obscure topic related blogs. Trust me these blogs are so obscure google doesn’t even know they exist. Thank you wordpress.com tag surfer and Technorati search! Then I used the ‘post to VoodooPad’ short cut (shift/apple/;)when I hit stories that took my interest and wrote my 2- 300 words on each.  1000 words or so later I stopped because I’ve got cold toes. 

Pay it Back

Oh and then I used social poster to post some of them (the original stories not mine) to relevant sites (mostly reddit, newscape, indianpad and stumbleupon) thus building my own reputation for the subject on these sites. I didn’t use del.icio.us as I use that a lot professionally and I didn’t want to confuse my network

Just waiting now to see what’s in store for us today…
