I hear ya on the “mark all read” option cause I’m not making any dent using the old fashion RSS feed reader option. I had added your blog as a feed to the RSS feeder in this case as a test of the old fashion manual methods.

Thanks for the comment, David. You’re quite about getting overwhelmed by the number of RSS feeds if you don’t check in every day. Remember the “mark all as read” tool — it can be very helpful for you!

Subscribing to keyword searches for “hot topics” is a great way to monitor the important goings-on in social media. Is that how you caught this post?

See you on Twitter!

Great post Bryan. Twitter was indeed my best networking tool of 2007 and will be in 2008 no doubt. While I do have some RSS feeds set up I agree it gets a bit overwhelming if you leave it more than a day. Being at Radian6 I use our own solution to track what’s up in the social media field. Instead of setting it up to monitor a brand or company like most of our customers do I’ve set it up to track what’s up in social media. Works like a charm but hey I’m probably just a bit biased on that one

See you in Twitterville in 2008. Cheers. David
