Last year I did a post on products I can’t live without with the intention of doing the same this year and comparing. I totally forgot about it until now.
Lets just go through last years list and see how it matches up.
digg.com – gosh. I can’t believe how much I actually loved that site. I use Reddit now, and would never dream of going back to digg.
WordPress – Meh. I don’t use it so much these days. It’s still something I use (obviously), but more and more rarely.
Google Talk – It’s only my Android, and people talk to me sometimes on there, but I don’t use it these days. Back into MSN!
Youtube – I use this more these days, thanks to 4oD being on there.
last.fm – I still store my plays on there, but I use Spotify to listen to music now.
4chan – What the hell? Not been there in years.
Google Reader – I’m using Fever now!
Google Notebook – this got retired. I mostly just use actual physical notebooks now. If there’s a link I want to jot down, I bitly it first.
Almost everything has changed then really. I didn’t think my habits had changed as much. Here’s this years list:
- Fever – it’s just so much more beautiful and personal than Google Reader. I guess I like controlling it on my own server.
- Google Listen – for podcasts on my Android
- Spotify – I’m a premium member, I like it so much.
- Steam – I really like having electronic copies of games. I’m not so bothered about physical media.
- World Of Warcraft – it’s a phase, I’m sure.
- Facebook – of course.
It’s odd to see how many of my favourite things are all paid for now. I’m not sure if paying for something is a thing that people do as they get older, or if I just feel better about paying.
