And I now also subscribe to ReadWriteWeb and Mashable email newsletters. I wish I could just go down to one of those but I have not been able to figure out which one I like better - yet. And I gave up on an RSS reader. Oh! And I now also subscribe to ReadWriteWeb and Mashable email newsletters.

My email is really reduced and the only thing that comes into my inbox is email from a person I know. Regarding podcasts, the primary ones I listen to now is... Ad Age Video (Awesome!) This Week in Technology This Week in Google (sometimes) This Week in Startups (Awesome!) That's about it. The others are sports and personal stuff. As for magazines, I only read THE NET EFFECT. I still get FastCompany and Wired but just thumb through them or leave them around the house for when I'm bored. Any other industry news I get through my colleagues and/or Twitter. But honestly, I don't do much on Twitter these days. All of this is making me very efficient and I'm getting more done on my business and for my students than ever before.

It's fantastic. Occasionally I catch it live but normally I catch it on my iPod Touch a few days after they air. My latest favorite podcast is http://www.ThisWeekInStartups.com. It’s fantastic.

Read NOTHING but what I write. Haha. Not hardly. But I do recommend trying to unsubscribe from EVERYTHING. When you do, you quickly realize that there are only a couple of sources that you will miss. To me, the big ones are Search Engine Land and MarketingVox. Those are two great sources for actual Internet marketing NEWS. After that, most things are a waste of time. And podcasts are the way to go. They are extremely informative, more interesting, more enjoyable, and you can listen to them when you are doing other things. Seminars are also incredible. Instead of reading blogs for hours ever day, try going to a two-day class or seminar. Dedicate yourself to learning for a day or two like that and the results are awesome. Yes, exactly.
