<br />
Almost exactly a year ago today, I <a href="http://www.techcomet.com/2010/07/posterous-between-full-blog-and-twitter.html">set-up</a> my <a href="http://www.posterous.com/">Posterous</a>&nbsp;blog.&nbsp;At the time I felt as though my needs were not being served by Twitter or Facebook. The former limited my poetic voice and the latter was not an ideal medium for sharing interesting content with anecdotes. In any event I felt that I wanted a central source for all my content. Anyway, over time I just stopped using the service because it was too much of a hassle to maintain yet another social media platform.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Recently, I have started sharing a lot of content and most of the time I am unsure whether it is on Facebook, Twitter, or somewhere else. Additionally, if I share something on Facebook or Twitter it becomes harder to find later on. Hence, once again I wanted to have a centralised location for all my &#8220;shared&#8221; content. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">To this end I started a new <a href="http://www.tumblr.com/">Tumblr</a> blog at <a href="http://www.abhiroopbasu.com/"><b>www.abhiroopbasu.com</b></a>.&nbsp;TechComet still remains the primary blog for all my long-form articles and opinions, however, I have actively started using Tumblr for sharing links, videos, quotes, images, and all sorts of other quick bites.<br />
<br />
I have been sharing content on Tumblr for the past few months and one of <a href="http://www.abhiroopbasu.com/post/7190274477/wimbledon-mens-final-2011-djokovic-wins">my most recent posts</a>&nbsp;was a live blog of the 2011 Wimbledon Men's Final, which Djokovic won&nbsp;<a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/blog/2011/jul/03/novak-djokovic-rafael-nadal-tennis">confidentially</a>.</div></div>

<blockquote>One day when I was 16, I rode my bike to the nearby D.M.V. office to get my driver&#8217;s permit. Some of my friends already had their licenses, so I figured it was time. But when I handed the clerk my green card as proof of U.S. residency, she flipped it around, examining it. &#8220;This is fake,&#8221; she whispered. &#8220;Don&#8217;t come back here again.</blockquote></div>

From nomination day, which was held on April 27, till the votes were cast there was an abundance of political commentary flooding my Facebook news feed. Everyone and their non-voting friend had become an armchair political pundit during this brief period.</p>  <p>To capture this moment in time the architects of the Facebook <em>Archiving GE2011 </em>project aim to collect (not analyse) all your Facebook comments, wall posts, notes and other data created during this period. Their means of doing so are explained in a detailed <a href="http://www.facebook.com/notes/meiyi-chan/archiving-ge2011-a-community-project-spread-the-word-share-this-note/10150177025861299">note</a> and the method is striking for its simplicity. All you have to do is save your Facebook profile as a webpage and mail it to their dedicated <a href="mailto:archivingGE2011@gmail.com">email address</a>. </p>  <p>This project raises a number of interesting questions which arise out of using Facebook as a means of data archival. Firstly, the issue of data portability permeates the project as there is no clear method of collecting the information. Secondly, the use of Facebook as a tool for political commentary is an interesting notion in itself. Finally, the relevance of archival itself is questionable.</p>

Many <a href="http://www.slate.com/id/2249562/">GTD experts</a> have pontificated on the benefits of switching off. Is that really what it should take for us to find ourselves or at least feel as though we were connected to the rest of the world? By disconnecting ourselves?<br />

<br>
To the uninitiate Google has <a href="http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/05/10/google-music-page-is-live-request-a-beta-invite-now/">recently announced</a> that they will be creating an online music market/storage platform for users to buy music and store their already purchased music. Details on the exact workings of this new service are light, however early <a href="http://lifehacker.com/5800500/first-look-at-google-music-our-favorite-features-in-googles-cloud-music-player">previews</a>&#160;appear to be positive.<br>
<br>
Read the&#160;multitude&#160;of (p)reviews of the service if you are interested. Frankly, I am not. I lost interest a couple of minutes after trying use the service. Since I wasn&#39;t located in the grand ol&#39; US of A, I was blocked from even registering.<br>

The sole purpose of a watch is to tell the time, and if there is an equally capable device of doing so already on your person the usefulness of wearing a redundant gadget diminishes. In fact for most people today wearing a watch is merely a fashion statement. <br>
<br>
Not so, says Fossil the creators of the Metawatch. No longer will the watch be a footnote in the annals of tech history.<br>
