heliopsisI realize I am out of step with the world. I'm supposed to keep two chat windows open at all times, send text messages and tweets continuously from my iPhone, read and update facebook and Google+ hourly and LJ/DW at least a couple times a day, but I just can't. I would rather do actual things.
But I would like to keep up with my friends. For a while, checking FB and LJ once a day sufficed, but the signal-to-noise ratio on FB is awfully low, I find, and I have largely abandoned it. I ought to be gung-ho for Google+, but I've kind of lost my enthusiasm for the whole game. I have never been able to convince myself that twitter would be a good idea for me. What I really want is a daily digest: something that scoops the whole mess, chaff and all, into a single hopper and lets me filter out what looks interesting.
Has anyone heard of such a thing? Am I the only one who'd use it?
