New technology is getting more and more fun

Not posting on your own blog for months is bad form in the blog world.

Since I am managing a few blogs other than for Goodwin Communications, I have put them as top priority. Now, I am back looking at my own and wondering what is important in communications that should be covered. No doubt that technology is changing at warp speed and affects our habits.

I have been doing what everyone else does and bought all the new items in order to learn how to be effective with them. It is important to sign up for major new tools - since Twitter, Posterous, tumblr and others have become the norm, what is new on the horizon?

I did like the fact that Facebook bought Instagram - makes sense to me with Facebook's social goals. I started using Instagram a few years ago when Poloroid stopped making instant film and I could not buy it for my camera. At the same time, all things photos went online, even though I longed for the Poloroid art form. Voila, Instagram and its very cool features, expecially the square, really soothed me.

Of course, I love Siri like everyone else - you can entertain yourself with this. I wish I liked online games, as they look fun but I get bored with them. The iPad is great for fiddling with images. If I went out more often, I would use FourSquare - I would love to be the mayor of something.

Best new item is the Google hybrid glasses that act as a miniaturized smartphone wired with hands-free access to a micro display, cameras, microphone, Web browser and speech recognition. I want one right now.

Let me know if you think of something more awesome to discuss here!
