Each day we seem to add yet another device, application or website to our menu of favourite (or most useful) digital items. It’s as if we consume them in our hunger for the next-new thing. But our digital diet changes over time – sometimes on a daily basis, with one new application supplanting another. Think Foursquare during a conference. Then think Twitter back at the office.
John Johnston compiled a list of digital devices that he uses on a daily basis. A number of people have shared their digital diet in the comments. But because it is such an interesting idea, I thought I’d publish my own list and then track it over time using a new Digital Diet category. So from time to time I can track how my daily digital diet changes. It may give me a sense of the trends as they occur. Time will tell.
Here’s what I use daily:
| Lenovo T60 Notebook | Desktop PC |
| BlackBerry Pearl | Canon 450D Camera |
| Xenyx 502 Mixer | Logitech webcam |
| Dell Mini Netbook with inbuilt 3G | Gmail |
| Google Apps (mostly docs) | Saasu |
| iTunes | Skype |
| Adobe Connect | |
| TweetDeck | PeopleBrowsr |
| Outlook | Live Writer |
| Microsoft Office | Google Chrome |
| TwitterBerry | |
| WordPress | Adobe Photoshop |
| Adobe Acrobat | Adobe Dreamweaver |
| MyPhpAdmin | YouTube |
| Feedly | Flickr |
| Canon MP560 Printer | TiVo |
| JVC video camera | Union XR bike computer |
There are other things that I use, though not EVERY day. What about you?
