The social web is very complex and crowded. It made sense to let you know where to find me and what to expect. 

I am on these six social networks, if you would like to follow along. 

I write about technology trends and offer analysis on current (tech events.) I sometimes write about interesting, relevant and engaging companies on GigaOm. I occasionally (but rarely) review products. However, I write a weekly newsletter, Om Says: Weekend edition — a collection of 7 stories I recommend you sit back and read. 

Here on Om.co, you can find me musing about baseball, clothes, movies, music, my many travels and I photoblog my trips. And in order to feed my vanity, I share media mentions of me. I also use it as a place to thinking out loud about a lot of things. I sometimes share what I have learned in my life as an immigrant, reporter and an entrepreneur.

  1. Om,

    I read and follow along with what you and your writers at GigaOm write.

    With the amount of technology you have at your fingertips, I think your list is reasonable and perhaps even manageable. We are headed towards a more agressive and even more complex web of social “networks”.

    I believe the key is to try the applications that appeal to you and your personal interests. When your list of social networks cause implied stress and become more work than enrichment, it’s time to make the move away from the, highly complex.

  2. Dale:

    Couldn’t agree with you more:

    “When the social networks you participate on cause stress and become more work than enrichment, it’s time to make the move away from the highly complex.”

    It was precisely this sentiment that lead to the creation of CHNL — http://chnl.it

    We believed that there is an incredible amount of rich, compelling content that is being shared with us across multiple social networks, but checking into each one could become overwhelming.

    CHNL connects to your social profiles, pulls all the content into one simple layout and provides some easy to use filters.

    The focus is on simplicity, ease of use and making finding, browsing and sharing enriching content enjoyable.

    @Om – you are invited (of course!) to see behind the curtain and see what’s in development at CHNL, we’d appreciate your insight as we strive to create simple and useful products.

    Thanks for reading-

    Jason (CHNL co-founder).
