Digital decluttering (1)

Inspired by Tony Morgan and this article, I’m having a digital decluttering session or two.

So far I’ve:

- ditched Flock in favour of a move back to Firefox. Flock was too slow and far too fiddly - I just could not get it to interact with Flickr and Facebook as it is meant to and I wanted it too.

- ditched: Twitter, Bebo, MySpace, MSN Messenger.  They add nothing to my life, and only detract !

- set up GMail chat properly (i.e. set my contacts list up to allow me to chat with people I want to chat with).

- streamlined Facebook.  And decided I will not be encouraging use of the messaging function in Facebook to contact me.  I will respond via my GMail accounts.

- set up Firefox for all my home applications - BBC News, Blogger, Facebook, personal Gmail, Trade Me, You Tube.

- set up Safari for all my work applications - WordPress, professional Gmail, LibraryThing, Google Reader, YouTube.

- set up iGoogle.com homepages on both browsers.

There is still more to do though…
