Why Am I Only Communicating with Text?
Hi, all, What I find at least as interesting as the discussion is *where* did the person who found the youtube.com video come across it? I had already seen it a few hours earlier, posting to another online community. Yes, the video is very, very good, and yet I wonder how it got disseminated so quickly. What were the crucial links there in that process? cheers, andee
Hi Andee, I first posted the art video link to this list. I ran across the link on iGoogle (http://igoogle.com is a link that works at my end) one of the few news aggregation services that I use. iGoogle provides a variety of feeds (iGoogle calls the results tags - I believe most tags originate as RSS). The feed in question was from DIGG (http://digg.com/). DIGG references tend to be ephemeral and less reviewed as compared to other sources that I follow. Just for reference, the actual source was http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUDIoN-_Hxs. I'm very interested in learning what "news" sources other list members subscribe to.
