Editor's Notes
- #3 How can he post comments and links even before the speaker has shown the next slide or left the podium? How can they read so many journals on a daily or weekly basis and never seem to miss the headline papers?
- #4 But one thing that you learn very quickly in SoMe and FOAM is how fast information is disseminated around the world and the depth and breadth of discussion is astounding
- #5 One of the issues that turns folk off SoMe is the whole culture of conferences such as SMACC with references to Star Wars and Superheros, but while I would suggest that you have to look way past that, I would also suggest that some of the leading lights and most prolific members of the International community such as Minh Le Cong truly do appear to have the power of a Jedi Master
- #6 So what is the secret? How do these guys manage to do it?
- #7 Look for the logo on website, this indicates that the journal, blog or page can be added to an RSS Reader and then you will not have to search for it or directly access it again. However, if anything new that may interest you is added to that site then you will be informed and it will be added to your daily, weekly or monthly update
- #8 Numerous aggregators and you need to find on that works for you. Flipboard is a very nice one for the Ipad as is creates a magazine format that you can simply flick through page by page
- #9 Rich Site Summary – feeders or aggregators
- #11 Feedly allows you to define exactly the sort of material that you are looking for and to sift through all the journals for key topics or journals that you are interested in
- #13 Your own personal journal
- #14 You can then even set up email alerts within the Readers to inform you when articles or Blogs on a particular subject are published
- #15 But too much of a good thing an you can be just as overwhelmed with RSS You have to start slow and don’t worry if you miss a week or two, it will all still be there for you, when you do have time.
- #16 Think big, but start slowly with little steps or
- #19 So even if you can afford all the journals, then you rapidly end up with a desk or study looking like this and you miss so many important articles
