Podcasts run in the background in the car and at home. My feed reader is my email client, so I know when a new post comes in about as often as I check my email. Firefox has the Twitbin extension pane up as I browse with multiple tabs in the browser. My chat clients always running. And I have a book at home on communication tools and one at work, in case technology fails me and provides me with unplanned downtime.

Stay tuned for an upcoming zenware reviews by Jen and I!
