I’m doing it the other way, using social media instead of RSS! Ok, only half joking. Facebook is now what RSS was supposed to be, but for the non-tech masses.

I’m doing it the other way, using social media instead of RSS! Ok, only half joking. Facebook is now what RSS was supposed to be, but for the non-tech masses. Sure, I still use RSS for tech blogs, but how do I find about local concerts and events, schedule changes for kid’s aikido, etc? All these small organizations, clubs, bands, artists, venues use Facebook as a way to notify their members/fans. After some curating, I really like my Facebook. But I don’t use it as a social network, i.e. there’s not much social stuff there. “Loud” friends or relatives they are muted. But that’s where I find out about next concert of bands I follow, which I wouldn’t find elsewhere.
