Josh Childress is widely considered to be the biggest techie on the Hawks
roster. Recently
he sat down
with Earthling, Earthlink's official blog, to discuss his interests in
technology. Here is an excerpt:
What's
your favorite social networking site and why?
My favorite right now is MySpace because it's the best way for me to stay in
touch with fans and also reconnect with people that I've lost contact with
over the years -- from college, high school, and even elementary school.

Do you read what fans write about you?
Yes and no. I sift through every now and then to see what people are saying.
But it's sort of an unwritten rule in sports not to read the newspaper or
message boards because if you pay attention to everything you read, you will
go crazy. Of course, you want to read all the positive comments but there
are always people who are going to be negative. Sometimes the amount of
negativity outweighs the comments from fans who really appreciate you and
your game.
I've heard you're using a
Helio Drift. How do you like it? What ring do you use?
I really like the Helio Drift. It's small, compact, and easy to use.
Although a lot of my friends don't have Helios yet, when they see mine they
always ask about it. Right now my ringtone is "money in the bank" but I'm
working on downloading a new one.
