Learning the 2.0 way !

Monday, March 16th, 2009

Well.. Call me a 1.9 user !

It’s taking me a whole lot more of time than I would have expected to get acquainted with the “2.0″ ways.

Of course (well.. it’s not *that* obvious), I’m kind of familiar with the concepts. Bertrand did initiate me quite thoroughly to the concept during endless hours of ‘live’ talks about it !

But getting to use twitter.. facebook (ok.. I’m staying clear of this one for the time being), linkedin, plaxo.. blogging (yes, I know.. that’s what I’m doing just now) – on a regular basis is *NOT* what I instinctively do.

I’m still an e-mail guy. Mailing lists.. oh yes !.. Newsgroups.. I read a few.. and post also once in a while.

But I find maintaining ‘web’ based communication more strainful than streamlined myself.

I always have my e-mail client open. So if I see something there that warrants (or maybe doesn’t) a reply, I’ll answer… To whoever is listening.

Using tools like twitter (again – I’m not denying it may be useful) is still like twisting my arm..

If I have something to say to a particular audience, I like this audience to be ‘identified’ (not necessarily by name though).. So just throwing out random ideas to a random crowd is still foreign to me.

But..

I’m learning !
