I'm a tinkerer - never satisfied. I do find myself spending increasingly more and more time using social media and the Internet in my job, but new tools come along all the time that are designed to make doing all these things more efficient. Case in point, iGoogle. Like Google needs any more ringing endorsements for their product, but I have been using iGoogle more and more to keep me organized. I have a Twitter gadget, a CNN gadget, a Google Calendar gadget and a Google reader gadget. Between these, I can see a synopsis of most of the things I like to read/look at in one page. Just today I added a bookmarks Gadget so that I can access all of my necessary sites remotely (since it's Web based). So yes, things do have to be impressive for me to keep, even though I'll try most anything. But advances in technological design help me to process things efficiently enough to offset. Make sense?
