I was a bit surprised to find that I had been doing many of these. It really does give you a heads up on what’s going on to pay close attention to del.icio.us/popular, for instance. You end up being the one who says “Hey did you hear that ?” all the time, and people respond with some wonder, thinking “How did he hear about that – I’ve been on CNN all morning and they never said a thing. That’s web 1.0 thinking right there, buddy.
I must say though, I’m not as big of an alexa fan as this guy.
