It used to be that I <br>read much of my RSS feeds in the 7-8 a.m. timeframe, but now, that's <br>primarily consumed with baby feeding or recovering from the night's <br>interruptions. As a result, the feeds I would have read at home are <br>now read first thing at the office. And yes, according to the graph, <br>it's 9 a.m. Pacific time when I have the peak activity.</p>Louis GrayFri, 07 Nov 2008 16:40:36 -0000http://blog.louisgray.com/2008/11/my-9-am-morning-news-trumps-your.html#comment-3599239<p>What timezone is this? ... 9AM PST for the peak?</p>Todd DewellFri, 07 Nov 2008 16:36:27 -0000http://blog.louisgray.com/2008/11/my-9-am-morning-news-trumps-your.html#comment-3577722<p>These trends, of course, are not new. Even before 24 hour news networks, television was capable of reporting things that newspapers missed due to deadline.</p><p>True story - I can access mobile Google Reader on my cellphone, which gives me great flexibility regarding when I can read items. One night at 11:30, just before going to bed, I happened to check Google Reader - and discovered an announcement that my employer had agreed to sell my business unit to another company (pending regulatory approvals). I didn't sleep a lot that night, but I was certainly informed. </p>ontarioemperorThu, 06 Nov 2008 18:26:55 -0000http://blog.louisgray.com/2008/11/my-9-am-morning-news-trumps-your.html#comment-3573647<p>I appreciate the firehose analogy. I often feel that way if I don't check in on Twitter or Google reader for a few hours, but I have learned not to worry about missing something, if it is really important it will be retweeted, or someone else will write a link to it. </p>RoundpegThu, 06 Nov 2008 14:23:00 -0000
