Envisioning what's next or for that matter, trying to get hold of what's now is making me dizzy. I love a fast dynamic, but whaoo, what I'm seeing is something else.
Last night I had a long phone conversation with my 26-year old son, Esana Anderson (digital media geek) and we took a spin across the Internet, he in Orlando and me in Oregon. Over a couple hours he introduced me to a number of new destination sites, programs and methods for gathering and sharing information.
We started at www.Digg.com. This site features listings of Internet news-like stories rated by how many people "dig" them by voting. The top stories are the most votes in the most recent past. Talk about breaking news, this is it and it's on ALL kinds of information.
He had me do a search of a couple topics that interest me, like coaching, management consulting and group facilitation. There are search options like last seven days, weeks, months or forever and more.
He had me download Vienna software on my Mac G4 laptop, then showed me how to transfer the RSS feed from Digg subject searches. Now when I run Vienna it links automatically to the Digg subject searches and I see breaking news on the exact subjects I'm interested in.
Boy, I can't wait to show my clients how they can stay up to date about breaking news in their various industries. Heh heh
