Valueable recommandations
instead of fruitless rummaging.
Without Google: Day 1

[Original German Blog Post]

Yesterday, I made my mind to abandon all search engines for some time; so I would not hesitate to tell how my using the Internet is changed by that.

The most important means to get to valuable information, are my networks, Twitter at first. I would not want to get lost in a trivial eulogy on the great Web 2.0. However I have a strong feeling of security, to get all paths of the Internet that I would really want to follow, rolled out for me by my peer-group’s posts.

For the first time I bothered to watch in detail which links I would get recommended in my Twitter-timeline. Until now I had presumed that I would have clicked more or less at random on the one or the other link. To get a more objective picutre I now archived every link that I would see as worth following in a list.

After adding came the surprise: I had in deed looked on about half of the Links from my timeline! Hardly there is any Spam. In fact, behind the links there lie almost always articles worth reading or pictures, that at least I would find funny. This efficiency in supplying content I find remarkable.

Here is the list of links, that I would have judged relevant to follow yesterday evening:

… and tomorrow it will go on. Also I am looking forward on the parallel report of @dasrhizom!
