I embrace content on the web. Being an info junkie has never been easier due to the constant stream of content on the Internet. But now that I think about the question, I suppose I do have a strategy for how I consume media – and the managing has much to do with the tools I use to consume the media. Computer – I use my computer in the form of RSS feeds, blogs, and news aggregator sites to keep me updated on the latest technology trends all of which help me kept current. One of my favorites that I read via RSS feed is MIT Tech Review. They are often the first to report on an up and coming technology. iPhone – I commute on the train about an hour a day, so I use my iPhone for more general reading and spend a lot of time browsing the NY Times. This keeps me current on world events along with sentiment and trends in the U.S. Additionally, I spend time reading the newsletters subscriptions that flood my email inbox each morning. And just in case I run out of items to read, I have a book loaded into the iPhone Kindle application – currently reading the World Wide Rave by David Merriman Scott. iPod – I often listen to news stories while cooking or driving. I never miss the BusinessWeek Cover story podcast and often get my social media fix via Hubspot TV Twitter (via mobile or computer)- I read a lot of the stories the folks I follow point to. For the most part, they never fail to interest me in some fashion. Downtime – I do subscribe to a few magazine, Newsweek, Science News and Cooking Light. Love to spend time on the weekends reading, and I find that a good Newsweek article will give me the depth into stories that I miss during the week when consuming news via online sources.

If they forward it, write about it or otherwise point to it -- I'm sure to spend time there.
