I checked out a bunch of blogs the last couple weeks. Commented on a few. Almost everyone was English but I did check out a few American blogs. I was also pleased with the age range of the participants.There lot of youngsters like myself are trying to make our way into the world of info science and then their are many seasoned professionals. It's exciting and overwhelming to be a part of it. As I have seen a lot of people comment on their blogs. It's hard to not want to follow everyone's blogs...but realistically how much will I really end up reading?
As I commented on someone's blog you can always add more television stations but you'll still only end up watching a few. That's how I feel when reading all these blogs...for now I think I'll follow a bunch via RSS and then slowly weed out to my top ten "channels".
This info-overload panic reminded me of this ARTICLE I read on another blog.
Thing 3
Personal branding? I don't really know how I feel about it. I feel like I don't have enough experience with it in the professional information science realm world to make an informed decision. For now, I've come to one conclusion, I think there is a fine line between a professional visible presence and hokey pitch that seems to give off stink waves of informal desperation. But that could just be me....what do you think?
Thing 4
Now to be a complete hypocrite, I really love Pushnote! It's a great concept. I just wish more people used it. The only sites I've really see it used for are already pretty well known....but may I need to do some more searching.
As for Twitter I've had an account since January. One of my professors made everyone in our class sign up for an account. At first I though I would hate it but I actually find it quite helpful and interesting especially now that I am finding all these info science career/new accounts to follow.
