Since I installed an RSS-Reader like its 2007, I read my friends again. That's a thing I am really thankful for. And there, over at pfotenhauers frittiert.es, I read a blogpost about App Defaults. It's about People who show other people what they are using for tools 'n apps on a daily base for working and living and in private.
I will do that, too.
