I have “frenemies” who are semi popular. I want to keep alerts on their LinkedIn and Twitter. Similarly startups I want to know if they’ve stagnated or gotten funding. I would like to get earnings calls emails for some companies I like. I want to get a ping if the forex rate changes for some combos, or if gold price drops by some percent. I and family have many bank accounts and it’s a real thing that you need to keep an eye on the finances of your banks here (one goes down every few years). I will like to have news alerts on all the small towns my family is in so I know if something big happened anywhere.
I think it’s definitely a mindset to think of everything you do or read every day and think if you can offload it to someone or something else. Once you switch that knob on you notice so much every day.

That sounds so far away from how I deal with "frenemies" (I just ignore them) that I have to ask: What do you get out of reading what they are up to on Twitter and LinkedIn?
