Filtering the Live Web: Managing the Information Age, a SxSW 2010 consideration
I have never done a panel at SxSW, but I am hoping this year is my time. But first, I need to get my panel approved. It’s called Filtering the Live Web: Managing the Information Age. Here is a synopsis:
Twitter feeds, RSS readers, emails, texts, pings… there is so much coming at us every minute that we are losing focus and not filtering out what’s most important to us. Using social web tools, we can learn how to manage your bits and pieces efficiently.
I am going to layout some of the tools that I use to manage the social web, and how I put it all together. This is a panel for social media beginners too.
Here are some questions I will try to answer in my panel:
- What is social media?
- How many types of media do you process a day?
- What are some tools to help manage your content?
- How often do you check your email a day?
- How do you manage Facebook’s news feed?
- How do you read your news?
- How do you manage your address book or calendar on your mobile device?
A lot of people ask me, “how do you manage it?” and the real answer is that I just wing it. But I will have some more specific strategies in my panel. And of course, if you can’t make it to Austin, I will blog about this panel (if I even get it approved).
Here is a link to my panel. Please vote it up and tell your friends to vote for it!
