I’m now on the Google+ Diet!

I wrote a column for Computerworld about how Google+ can be used as a replacement for not only Facebook and other social networking services, but also e-mail, blogging, micro-blogging, RSS news feeds, video conferencing, chat, texting and location-based social networking.

The idea is to cure social networking fatigue by streamlining and consolidating all online social activity into the one service.

To prove this concept to myself, and also to anyone else who’s interested, I am going on a Google+ Diet until further notice. I’m no longer using Gmail, Tumblr, Twitter, Google Reader, Skype, AIM and Foursquare, and instead will use Google+ and only Google+ for all online communication until further notice.

Wish me luck!

I’ll be chronicling my Google+ Diet adventures on — where else? — Google+. So please join me there and let’s see what happens!
