Tai Tran's Choices (and dilemma) of Media
| Service vs. Service | I choose: | Why? | But… |
| Self-hosted WordPress vs. WordPress.com | Self-hosted WordPress | Branding & Plugins | |
| Facebook vs. MySpace | Facebook is more organized | ||
| del.icio.us vs. diigo | diigo | Web high-lighting | My community is on del.icio.us |
| Twitter vs. Plurk | Plurk | Timeline GUI | My community is on Twitter |
| Digg vs. reddit vs. Mixx | Mixx | Less hostile toward content creators | |
| Yahoo! Mail vs. Gmail vs. Hotmail | Yahoo! Mail | yahoo.com is easier to remember for my connections | I really want to use Gmail |
| Yahoo! Messenger vs. Windows Live Messenger vs. Gtalk | Windows Live Messenger | Twice the maximum number of friends one account can add compared to that of Y!M | yahoo.com is easier to remember for my connections |
What is your choice of media channel? Do you have dilemmas of choosing them?

- Blogger.com (more functions are coming. Don’t want to waste time on management a self-host)
- Facebook
- Google Reader Shared (want to centralized my bookmarking, GReader can work offline)
- Twitter vs. Plurk (cannot decide now)
- Digg vs. reddit vs. Mixx (none, but I read Digg more often
- Gmail (because it’s the best
- Windows Live Messenger
The usual Paradox of choices, I’m afraid. And the network effect (i.e. number of friends already using a service) prevents us from moving on another newer and better alternative.
I prefer Gmail (in so may ways), but cannot abandon Yahoo for now. Self-hosted WordPress is of course superior, but I’ll have to actually earn some money b4 switching
