staying away from digg + slashdot is amazing...

[Goosemaster]

I feel so uninformed...but productivity has skyrocketed.

It's amazing how much time i wasted there

And sorry for wasting more of it

don't worry, it all gets reposted here anyway

 

[destrekor]

how much productivity would increase if I ditched ATOT. I don't have a high post count, but I lurk quite a bit, just looking for something good to read. Plus engadget and other random sites, waiting for something good to read. lol

I almost never use Digg/Slashdot.

How much "information" did you really get from Digg, anyway? It's seems even worse than the last time I checked it... a collection of cheesy news stories and YouTube videos.

iGoogle has been my problem...since I have Gizmodo, /., Techdirt, Cnet, Wired, ESPN, Fark, etc. Now if ATOT only had feeds, I would never get anything done in the office.

I have never used Digg, and don't plan on it.

same here

wikipedia is a frekin' vortex of productivity

 

[Anubis]

only time i visit either site is if something is linked from here, and actually i almost never fallow digg links, because Diggs site layout is basicially the worst thing i have ever seen

Good thing I don't have time to use the internet at work for things other than reference.

ATOT has a feed; there's an RSS link at the top right of each forum. I haven't used it and don't know if it's any good.

Clicky.

Yeah, I blocked /., digg, wikipedia and ATOT from my hosts file at work, and productivity is way up. Much easier to have impulse control over a hosts file than an address bar.

I've found that staying away from the internet for anything but work, financial tools and news leads to a happier life.
I got my fill of computers and the internet in the late 80s through the 90s. Now I'm burnt and loving every minute.
Gotta stop by AT and see whats going on from time to time though.

 

[pontifex]

the only time i've ever looked at either of those sites is if someone here linked it.

That explains why you used to be such a raging dick head!
