playing with rss to expose myself to all that "social" stuff and more. i can't avoid the feeling of: oh my, just more of the same. it's not worth it. i maybe know now who had it first. fine. but it doesn't give me anything, just the proof that i read it first at digg or tech.memeorandum or ars technica or information week or some business sites or when it appeared on old media digital reservations or ... it's easy to fall into this habit, sure. but does it take into account that taste differ? no.

leave me alone with that recommendations, because it also just brings forth more of the same. he had it, i have it, blablabla. you haven't heard about it? sure you can sit on your desk and screen these feeds the whole day long, but in the end it is just copy and paste and plane boring. having a community as gatekeepers doesn't make life better or more 'democratic', as even some tv people try to make me believe. hey this link is new and fresh equals beta! maybe i have to apologise that i didn't link it when it was alpha.

and for all these xaja driven reports. at least there is, actually a surprising spot on the map, a cio magazine, that added a valuable note to it: sit down, take a deep breath and start to think ...

what are they doing over there? applying for a role in h*wood?
