Hi Cristoph, Just for the sake of a little bit more distraction, since we have been discussing the tech, Like Williams, I am on the side of canalling all the "distractions", (if we can call them) in one place. I actually started using buzz to have small discussions with different parts of friends. On one side I have an account which I use totally for personal stuff. The other one, this one, I use for the work. Adding all the tweet alerts, which are very very importante to me, to buz. I have now no problem using Buzz like All-In-One app. Özgür Özdemircili On Sun, Feb 14, 2010 at 8:31 AM, William Robertson <william@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Just to be devil's advocate, I suppose the idea is that if you can integrate > all of your interruptions into one neat application they can be managed with > less effort. > > I wouldn't really know though, as I work for a bank where all social sites > are blocked, including personal email, so all this waving and tweeting would > have to fit into my spare time, what there is of it.
