I’ve been thinking about my social web appearances this week since I started a FriendFeed. Creating a new account made me think about all the social applications I belong to and how little I participate in most of them. Here’s my run down:
Facebook: OK, I use this a lot. I like it because it is mostly a closed community and I can choose who reads my stuff – especially with the current changes.
Twitter: Some days a lot, others not so much. I’m trying to focus more on cool links than funny things my dogs are currently doing.
Google Reader: I tend to star stuff for my personal review rather than share it. If I do share, I tend more to post on either my Tumblr blog or Facebook.
Del.icio.us: I’m terrible about bookmarking. I just never do it. If I find information or a site I really like I will email it to my gmail database, but rarely do I go reference it again. How do you guys use it?
Flickr: I plan on using more…I just haven’t been taking many photos recently! I need a camera phone!
LinkedIn: The only time I log in is when someone adds me to their network.
Amazon WishList and Netflix: Sharing these is pure hubris. Besides, I’m wondering if I really want people to see my taste in really bad movies?
Pandora: I love Pandora. Combined with Fred’s suggestions I’ve found tons of music that I love. Not so sure I want people to know that I can go from George Jones to the Raconteurs in an instant though. I also love Bluegrass….and I’m not ashamed to admit it!
Other networks I belong to and rarely do much with: Plaxo, Magnolia, …. I know there are others because I’m always getting email updates that I delete…
Compared to other people (Rubel, Scoble, I’m looking at you), I’m pretty moderate, but I feel overextended. How are you integrating social networks into your daily life?
