Obscure Yakov Smirnoff "In Soviet Russia..." joke

Demonstrations:

  • Tweetdeck
    • Organize common twitter hashtag searches into columns so you can see everything you care about quickly, instead searching each individually.  There are other programs like it, I use this one. 
1 thing I could have emphasized more was Tags and Organization.  Tags help you find things along common threads throughout the internet.  Searching a hashtag like #pain on twitter will give you all kinds of results. Use them accordingly to classify and thread items you wish to save or recall for later - either with cloud based apps like Evernote or Springpad, blogs, or more traditional desktop apps like Onenote.  Finding a balance between over-tagging and under-tagging is an art.  You want to be descriptive without washing out the exclusivity of each tag.   If you figure out a good system, let me know...
