Twitter
I found it cool enough, but alas as with so much of the web, boredom is the danger. I used to just subscribe to one or two prolific monster tweeters. And be they as clear-noted and resilient as Hardy's Darkling Thrush one does tire in the absence of a plurality of birdsong.
Thanks to CPD23's recommendations, I have found more tweeters to follow, and so the plot thickens..
Yes Twitter is cool, especially the way you can recommend an article which many seem to insert with a shortened URL...
for example see @alanfricker recommending Steve Thornton's article on workplace research on the 8/7/11 at 15.53 >>>>that can't be a good way of recommending what somebody else recommended on twitter....how about a hyperlink?

RSS
Have used it a bit in theory....like set up Google reader, but that's not so accessible at work, so tends not to get looked at. Heard I. Kuhn recommend netvibes, perhaps that would display better and get around the IT restrictions at work
Feeds do provide access to info, but how to avoid death by mundane info sunami! Just have to stand up and surf I guess
Pushnote
Tried this and it's cool, a way to comment on sites and then push the comment onto your twitter or facebook page, and ever so simple...thanks CPD23!
Dropbox
Recommended by a librarian in manchester, basically you download it on to all your devices <<<-for me that's an iphone, twice resurrected macbook, unbelieveably slow yet reliable 10 year old dell laptop.... >>>
So you've got this folder with all your docs and and they are all up to date, no more toing and froing with darn usb stick...it's greaaaaat!
