RSS Is So Last Year...

I don't necessarily mean that, however, if for any reason you are a frequent, somewhat frequent, or first-time viewer of my blog, you will notice that my commitment to posting content on a regular basis has failed miserably.  The reason for that is because I almost never now communicate via blogs; at least these kind.  For that matter, I almost never even view my Feedly account any more (if you are not familiar with what Feedly is, they emerged and grew when Google Reader announced its closing; basically it collects and aggregates feed from blogs like this one using RSS feed).

In a nutshell, it seems that blogs and blog readers are becoming a thing of the past for many.  I share and communicate almost entirely (apart from the necessary email) through social media.  If the writer of a blog has a social media profile, I'll follow that instead of the blog itself.  Not only is social media the easiest to filter and search through, but it is easier to share content.  It is not necessary to generate blog posts with a bunch of links, material or ideas for Technology Integration.  I can do the same with small, bite-sized pieces through social media.

I primarily use Google+ and Twitter.  I do find lots of great ideas and content through Pinterest as well.

So, whether you see more posts to come or not from this blog, you can guarantee I'm talkin' on either Google+ or Twitter.  Find me and follow me.
