I joined BigHeads at the suggestion of Christina Haberkern. You should check out her blog and her work. Brilliant talented woman.
I meant to publish this a while back when this first came out. Sorry!
Internet Content: Consumer vs. Creator
Right now, I am about 95% consumer of content on the internet. I love consuming content.
The main tools (there are others) that I use to consume content regularly:
- Google Reader
- Read it Later/Chrome it Later
- Google/+
- Tumblr
I know I’m “supposed” to be using Twitter for content because that’s what All The Social Media are doing (or saying they’re doing) … but I was never able to get a real handle on eliminating the noise I was getting from my Twitter stream. I found that moving a piece of content out of a tweet and into one of my offline reading sources was too much trouble (i.e. I gave up before I found a decent work around). Additionally, cross-posting to Facebook make Twitter redundant - I could easily see everyone’s updates on my Facebook wall.
I occasionally will browse my twitter stream when I’ve run dry on content from my other sources (and that never lasts more than an hour or two, tops.)
I would like to change that percentage to more of a 20%-80% split of creating to consuming.

Plan B For Your Android Phone
I discovered this while browsing through the market over the weekend:
Plan B is the ‘find my phone’ app that you download AFTER you lose your phone.
Plan B is your last resort to find your missing phone.
This is the first and only ‘find my phone’ app that you download AFTER you’ve already lost your phone. Having Lookout on your phone is the best way to protect your phone and find it fast, but use Plan B if you have already lost your phone and didn’t have Lookout installed.
