: Guys:

: Here's a very quick, very informal survey for members of our
: community, "Who Uses What [in terms of internet technology
: and social media]?". Here is how I would fill out my
: imaginary survey form: workhorse computer: desktop PC with big
: monitor and Firefox browser laptop: old school IBM thinkpad, may
: it live and be well is there an Apple in the house?: Yes, Mac
: Mini used only for browsing. wireless = Blackberry cellphone:
: $20 Samsung from 2005 [no camera!!] Facebook: no . . . let that
: be for the kids Linkedin: no Twitter: Yes . . . love it / wish I
: could spend more time Tweeting!! RSS reader: set one up last
: night, beginning to explore favorite aggregator: playing with
: Watches area on Alltop, but not there yet photohosting: Flickr
: Most frequently visited watch-related blogs: Hodinkee and
: Calibre11 Other favorite watch-related forums: IVHOC (but it
: seems very slow, on technical side, and has gotten quiet, in
: terms of postings), VetroPlastica (but it seems to be moving
: toward Italian language content), TimeZone (two visits per week)
: and WatchUSeek (occasionally) We are exploring RSS feeds from
: this forum, so I am just wondering whether there is any interest
: in that technology . . . which made me wonder about all these
: other technologies.

: Respond as you see fit . . . follow my headings or write your own .
: . . shout out anything that we might need to know to make this
: forum and community a better place for you!
