Better living through knowledge management - BLTKM - a new series

I'm always surprised at how much people do & do not know about computers & the Internet.

For most people, when they learn a cool new trick, or find a great new website, they assume that everyone else knows about, and don't bother to share.

I'm going to try to start sharing more.

Here's a rough outline of some things I'd like to talk about, if anything piques your interest, let me know and I will write about it sooner.

I've got basic, intermediate and advanced topics, and so I think I might pair up the basic & advanced so that everyone should get something out of every posting.

Advanced topic: IFTTT - if this then that - ifttt.org
Basic: alt-printscreen

Advanced topic: Hootsuite
Basic: indentity claiming / baby email

Advanced topic: Space Team / Ingress
Basic: space bar pause    F5 to reload (or start a PowerPoint)

Reddit - community writing
Basic: use good email subject lines so they know what email is about

PSR problem steps recorder - got a Windows problem? "psr" can help document it.

Spotify / Tune In Radio - music

Diigo / delicious - saving bookmarks online

Waze - crowdsourced traffic info

coach.me (lift) / idone this - making habits / documenting completions

duolingo / busuu - Learning other languages / Apprender lenguas / Suivir cours des langs

circa / feedly / flipboard - new media newspapers

podcasts - listen to something interesting (talk & music)

yik yak - see what people are saying when they can be anonymous around you

photos to the cloud - don't save pictures just on your smartphone

And just this morning, no less than Seth Godin says "you are what you share". We all should share more.
