  • Taking another social media break

    Jake Dahn: In many ways it feels like the more “information” I consume, the more burnt out I become. And: Ideas feel different, though. When I consume a new idea, I fall into a natural optimism where I can’t help but be motivated to remix the idea into something new. Please read his entire post…

  • Colin Walker takes a break (so I will too)

    Colin Walker: I’m not going to be blogging much – maybe the occasional post but nothing regular. I’m going to remove my feed from micro.blog for the time being so that I’m not drawn into conversations there that might result from any posts – if any conversations occur they will have to happen locally, for…

  • Bijan be gone

    Bijan Sabet, on his Tumblr: I deactivated my Facebook account this morning. The slide continues. Ironically, today is the day I decided to cut my #60daybreak short and I jumped back on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and Snapchat. I have my reasons. More soon.

  • Wither Wheaton

    Anne Wheaton, wife of Wil Wheaton, on her personal blog: I deleted my Twitter account last night and immediately felt relieved. I will miss the tweety buddies who were awesome that I don’t know in real life. I will continue to stay in touch with my friends around the world by phone or by my…

  • Simmons off-air

    Brent Simmons on his personal blog: Here’s what I found: being off Twitter, that squeaky treadmill, gave me back some time, and it made me happier and calmer than I would have been. And: I’m not deleting my account, but I’ve turned off all notifications and uninstalled the app from all computers and devices. I…

  • Peach still fuzzy

    I gave Peach a try for 10 minutes (even though I’m on a break). Here are my thoughts: I don’t know if text-based commands will triumph over buttons. Path had buttons for many of the ‘shortcuts’ that are built into Peach, such as sharing your location, and that never “took off” relatively speaking. Will people type them…

  • Thirty five down

    I’m now on day 35 of my 60-day break from social media. I wanted to write a post on the 7th, since that would have been a calendar month since the start, but I didn’t. So, today I thought I’d jot down how this experiment has been going. To do so, I’ll answer the same questions…

  • Three weeks into the social break

    Today is day 21 or about one-third of the way through my most recent break from social media. This morning I read my post from the end of the first week and I can say that not much has changed since then. But, as a matter of exercise I’d like to answer the questions again.…

  • The first week of the social break

    “Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue.” # Today marks the first week of my social break. This has been a complete break from Twitter, RSS, Instagram, Facebook, any Slack channels that aren’t work related, Ello, Flickr, VSCO, Google+, etc. and most recently Swarm got the axe. To be certain that…

  • Another social break

    In mid-2014 I took a two week break from Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. In October 2014 I took a 30-day social break and wrote about why I was doing it when I had hit the midway point*. I feel like it is time to take another break and this time I think it will be for…
