"I'm only likely to read and engage at the hub. Chasing conversation to the spokes takes me away from the platform where I'm spending time. Each day, I spend a few minutes diving into RSS feeds, a few minutes perusing Facebook, a few minutes scanning Twitter, etc. Sure, I'll follow links out to good content, but like a farmer, I prefer to finish tilling one field before I jump to another." - Polly Potter from Bookmarklet

I use Friendfeed as the hub. GReader shares and comments have not yet developed into a strong spoke for conversation. Feed subscriptions are still useful for finding information and perspective. - Polly Potter
