Friday Night Links (12/11/2009)…

Alright, in The Digitante family, numbers pretty much rule our lives. Me and Mrs. Digitante went to school for math and statistics, we work in math oriented fields, and we do calculus each night before we go to bed. No need to get rusty on those integration skills. Please note when I say ‘integration,’ I obviously don’t mean integration into society. Who would want to hang with a math nerd like me?

Anyway, since this IS the FNL, we are going to go easy with the numbers. Here you go:

• 10 Signs You Are a Social Media Douchebag (http://thedig.in/7r) – What is social media? Facebook and Twitter are two prominent examples. Pretty much anything that is meant to intertwine peoples’ lives together. Unfortunately some people don’t really know how to treat those around them and its never more obvious than when they are online.
• Top 10 of Everything in 2009 (http://thedig.in/7s) – They say everything, but I’m not sure they ACTUALLY mean everything. However, they’ve covered quite a bit of what happened over the last year. It might take awhile, but I”m going to plow through all 500 entries.
• 10 Laptop Tools for a Road Warrior (http://thedig.in/7t) – If you do any work on a laptop, this list is very helpful for everything from accessing your home computer from the road to various tools for managing your battery life. I especially like the Firefox extension for tracking your laptop’s location.
• 5 Memorable Sports Tweets (http://thedig.in/7u) – I follow quite a few celebrities on Twitter, but somehow I missed all these tweets. Plus the list was put together former Indiana Pacer great, Jalen Rose. My favorite is the Sports Guy tweet. Given that I have two little daughters, I’m going to have to heed his advice and keep a copy of Taken around.
