Among my local friends I am one guy who remains online for most of the time(arguably), and one question I often face is, what do I do when I am online? I don't know how many of my local friends would be reading this post, as many of them are non blog surfers. But I feel that this will one good thing to share. First of all, let me mention that I use Firefox as my browser, second I use my laptop whenever it is available, because it gives me freedom to use my bed as my net-zone. Third point, which is not related to online surfing but would love to share, I always keep my winamp on while surfing, and use Foxytunes to control it from my browser.
As I have mentioned that I use Firefox, I work on multiple tabs, nearly always.
- First tab > Orkut
- Second tab > Google Reader
- Third tab > Blogger
I will then use any of the last mentioned tabs as my Stumble page. After Google Reader, it the stumble upon which is taking upon me. Its turning out to be one wonderful add on, it can keep you rolling for hours at a go, and I will crumble on my bed, or jump in books only due to fatigue not boredom.
Other application other than browser is Gtalk which is always on. I prefer Gtalk when compared to Yahoo IM for simple one reason that is, it is less fussy than Yahoo IM client. And even for Yahoo, I prefer using Gaim.
This is how I spend most of my time online. One more thing which I would like to mention that broadband have take away one person away from TV and thats me. After broadband came to my life I am spending quite less time in front of TV. And I am also waiting for higher speed so that we can jump to IP-TV, that would be quite interesting. Last time, on Holi Special when I saw KBC ( Not for SRK but for Rani), I just thought of how IP-TV can bring a paradigm shift in television industry, we will easily be able to vote for, audience poll, can take part in game directly. One thing which I would suggest is that, think of reality television, and then think of IP-TV and then...you will be saying EUREKA.
