rrripple Activity Stream Means More of 100% Signal
I can admit it now…I was a bit skeptical of the utility of our Activity Stream. I have such disdain for the Newsfeed way of life, getting glued to a non-stop output of random information and thoughts from random “friends” on Facebook. I twitch just thinking about the time I’ve wasted.
Once our Activity Stream was live on our iPhone and iPad’s (and now live on web app!) I realized how totally helpful the AS is. It’s great, do to the fact that the groups that are being summarized by the Activity Stream are all comprised of people I care about, that I created and belong to, that I want to know what is being shared within the groups, real time.
A teacher told me the same thing. She said: “I can assign homework to class, and as I’m running errands in the afternoon, I can find when all of my pupils have submitted their homework, and then I can sit down and review them all at once.”
So the Activity Stream summarizes (top-to-bottom flow) all of the relevant information, and all of the relevant activities of all of my relevant groups. Especially while I’m on the run, I can check today’s activities, I’m always current. Therefore, I get 100% of my relevant Signal (conent) and 0% noise.
Finally, mobile sharing that works for me, Yeah!
