Are You Living Consciously Online?

Chris Brogan and Thomas Vander WalHat Tip: chrisbrogan.com

We spend a lot of time online these days, and for some of us, our passion for social media and social networking has us digging deep into all kinds of new services, tending our various social farms, and performing lots of maintenance on all we’ve built. We add on top of this our content creation, our content consumption, and the other ways we use the Web, and then on top of that our other online communications channels like IM, Skype, and Utterz. Add to this our gaming, and how many hours are we consuming?


Today, I’m thinking about the various ways in which I spend my time on the web, asking myself how they align with my business and social interests, and wondering what I might be doing out of habit versus that which might be part of a plan. I’m considering how my contributions to social platforms matter, and thinking about ways that I can do good work for others.


How are you spending your time online? Are you making a difference? How much of what you do is according to a plan of some sort? Or is the web just a relief valve?
