I feel it is always important to rethink things in order to refresh your prospective and ideas. The back to basics idea came to me last week mainly when I received a reminder for a community that I had forgotten I signed up for. I really enjoy trying out the latest software, apps, concepts, you name it I sign up for it. However, with trying out all the newest things comes the fact that great ideas, quickly becomes diluted with trying to mash together or add on the newest buzz of the week. Soon the original idea is no longer there and gets lost.

So, I am going back to the basics of the things I use on a daily basis to try and re-capture some of those original ideas. Some of which I know are still very valid and simply need to be launched.

Here is the list I am going to start with, in no specific order:

1. WordPress
2. Twitter
3. Facebook
4. Netvibes
5. Google Reader
6. The Flock Browser
7. Link Building
8.
9.
10…….30
