Hi Gaurav
everything except social media — which is more niche and one on one…..so FB, Twitter, Flickr, etal is social media and one on one…..

The book has been such an all-consuming affair that I have hardly had time for Facebook, Twitter, or Google Reader. @Harini: I anyways was never into the mass-media part of the Internet -- I assume you are referring to news portals and newspaper websites -- but now I don't even have time for my 200+ feeds. :-( @Gaurav: Thanks. The book has been such an all-consuming affair that I have hardly had time for Facebook, Twitter, or Google Reader.

@Harini: I anyways was never into the mass-media part of the Internet — I assume you are referring to news portals and newspaper websites — but now I don’t even have time for my 200+ feeds. :-(
