4:10 pm swanwick: Great crowd. Sorry I haven't been able to attend much. Very firewall challenged at NYC Dept of Ed. :) #KMers
4:12 pm jeffhester: Q1: I haven't measure it with any accuracy. Mostly SM fills little voids in my schedule. #KMers
4:13 pm curtisaconley: Ditto. RT @jeffhester: Q1: I havent measure it with any accuracy. Mostly SM fills little voids in my schedule. #KMERs
4:14 pm jmcgee: a bit hard to carve out social media time from other online activity - on most days a minimum of 45-90 minutes #kmers
4:14 pm luskwater: I use Choqok to view tweets through the day, occasionally responding: too often head-down programming to say much #kmers
4:15 pm ant0_0n: Q1: usually one hour in the morning, daily. most of my time is spent reading.. #KMers
4:16 pm dineshtantri: I would think atleast 10 hours a week directly on different applications #kmers
4:16 pm driessen: #KMers Q1: about an hour a day spread out over the day
4:17 pm luskwater: But a technical tweet may lead me to a useful project or concept that takes time to study: hard to measure. #kmers

4:21 pm OneDaveThomas: Seesmic Desktop, thanks to @curtisaconley :) #Kmers
4:21 pm luskwater: Q2: choqok on KDE for Twitter; used to use Flock, but needed the CPU cycles back #kmers
4:21 pm driessen: #KMers i use @brizzly for regular tweeting and @tweetdeck for conference tweeting
4:21 pm swanwick: I use @mixero for my Twitter. It is wonderful for ppl with multiple accounts. I also read a lot of blogs on many diff topics. #KMers
4:22 pm jeffhester: Q2: Tweetdeck, both on my desktop and iPhone #KMers
4:22 pm pekadad: @ant0_0n I've tried a variety of tools - TweetDeck, Seismic and many others but none have been "sticky" to me (kept me coming back). #KMers
4:22 pm stangarfield: Q2: use Twitter lists to group people I follow to make it more manageable. #KMers
4:22 pm jmcgee: Q2: tweetdeck primarily. Seesmic client on Android phone, also use FeedDemon for RSS consumption including linkedIn updates #kmers
4:22 pm jeffhester: Q2: I have experimented with HootSuite, but not sold yet #KMers
4:22 pm swanwick: Q2: I Use Google Reader for blogs and Google Listen for podcasts #KMers
4:23 pm jeffhester: Q2: and I really like Twitter's own iPhone app #KMers
4:23 pm driessen: #KMers i use lists a lot to filter tweets and searches like #kmers ! ;-)
4:24 pm swanwick: Q2: I only follow hashtags and keywords on Twitter. Don't follow people at all anymore. #KMers
4:25 pm driessen: #KMers i use Google reader too with postrank plugin (helps filter feeds)
4:25 pm jmcgee: Q2: use both lists and search cols in tweetdeck to segregate, similar approach to grouping RSS feeds #kmers
4:25 pm dineshtantri: Q2:Twitter and TweetDeck have had an impact on how frequently I go to Google Reader #KMers
4:25 pm swanwick: Q2: Linkedin in for people connections. I am very rarely on Facebook. #KMers
4:25 pm ant0_0n: have used twhirl before, hoping to find some nambu reviews... #KMers
4:25 pm driessen: @swanwick #kmers oh really, why?!
4:25 pm driessen: RT @swanwick: Q2: I only follow hashtags and keywords on Twitter. Don't follow people at all anymore. #KMers
4:26 pm swanwick: Here is blog post on "Evolution of Twitter Use" http://swanthinks.wordpress.com/2009/09/15/the-evolution-of-twitter-use/ #KMers
4:27 pm swanwick: @driessen People's interests and things they tweet about may intersect me in a small way. I don't want their whole stream. #KMers
4:27 pm jeffhester: @swanwick the very reason I use multiple twitter accounts #KMers
4:28 pm swanwick: @dineshtantri Are you saying you use Google Reader less or more? #KMers
4:28 pm swanwick: @driessen Postrank plugin: interesting. Is that with Firefox? #KMers
4:29 pm ant0_0n: RT @swanwick: Here is blog post on "Evolution of Twitter Use" http://ow.ly/2VVAk #KMers
4:29 pm curtisaconley: Also create lists of people/groups - but also have a couple of twitter accts to cut down on noise #KMERs
4:29 pm swanwick: @jeffhester You do that, but most people do not. They tweet about what they ate for lunch, their kid, and #KM #KMers
4:30 pm ant0_0n: [moderator] Question #3: time saving! Does anyone use time saving methods or tools? #KMers
4:30 pm dineshtantri: @swanwick - Started using Google reader less - Folks I follow on Twitter most often link to stuff that matters #KMers
4:31 pm driessen: @swanwick #kmers yep, Firefox and now Chrome as well!
4:31 pm swanwick: Q2: I love podcasts. Can't get enough. Surprised more people don't use them for on-the-go learning. #KMers
4:32 pm swanwick: @twaitter is good for automating periodic twitter posts. eg. how to join at http://KMers.org #KMers
4:32 pm driessen: @ant0_0n what do you mean? socmed saves me time! :-) #kmers
4:33 pm jeffhester: @swanwick Agreed re: podcasts. I like to mix them up for cross-pollination of ideas #KMers
4:34 pm swanwick: @jeffhester :) I have too many interests. Lack of focus is more my problem. Cross-pollination not as much. #KMers
4:35 pm dineshtantri: Q3: Nothing more than # tag filtered columns on TweetDeck-use it more for serendipity rather than to save time #kmers
4:36 pm jeffhester: Q3: Aggregators, search and filter tools are my primary time-savers #KMers
4:36 pm swanwick: Here is link to Postrank plugin: http://labs.postrank.com/gr #KMers
4:37 pm driessen: @swanwick true but would you then be more/less productive? Me: less! #kmers
4:37 pm ant0_0n: @driessen socmed usage grows and so does my tasklist related to it; trying to keep that part as short as possible as soon as possible #KMers
4:40 pm luskwater: SM has led me to Ruby and Clojure programming languages, much improving my productivity overall #kmers
4:41 pm swanwick: @dpambort Why avoid video? Too hard to scan? #KMers
4:41 pm swanwick: @luskwater Why, because your network suggested those languages as up and coming? #KMers
4:42 pm curtisaconley: @swanwick increased- I've found more events, groups and people to connect w/ that I wouldn't have otherwise known about #KMERs
4:43 pm swanwick: @curtisaconley What tools do you use to support f2f? meetup? upcoming? plancast? other? #KMers
4:43 pm luskwater: @swanwick Very much, I believe: my network takes me out of my cube's four walls #kmers
4:44 pm luskwater: @swanwick Of course, other languages/topics have been time-sinks or distractions, but I think it's a net gain #kmers
4:45 pm driessen: #KMers ok, have to jump off the train. See you later! Thx for the chat! Enjoyed IT
4:45 pm ant0_0n: [moderator] Question #4: does anyone have a company (or personal) policy on time and social media? #KMers
4:46 pm curtisaconley: @swanwick LinkedIn events has been surprisingly nice, but meetup and FB as well #KMERs
4:46 pm luskwater: I don't get much f2f with tech folks, anyway: lots of f2f with non-techies #kmers
4:47 pm luskwater: Q4: my boss suggested I look at Facebook (on my own time) as the next big platform; that was the start of FB involvement #kmers
4:49 pm WeKnowMore: RT @ant0_0n: [moderator] Question #4: does anyone have a company (or personal) policy on time and social media? #KMers
4:50 pm swanwick: @luskwater What have you decided about FB as a platform for your business? #KMers
4:51 pm luskwater: @swanwick I work for retirement communities: not a big FB demographic yet. :-) #kmers
4:52 pm luskwater: @swanwick I'd suggested it as a way to get a kid to write to grandma, maybe sending a rose for her birthday. #kmers
4:55 pm ant0_0n: @luskwater local news here is showing a decline of youngsters and an increase in elderly new FB users! :) #KMers
4:56 pm luskwater: @ant0_0n Yes, but I prefer "elderly" to mean people *much* older than me... #kmers
4:58 pm luskwater: @ant0_0n @swanwick My boss didn't go for the "Send gramma a rose" idea... maybe in a few years #kmers
