After a ton of time essentially off the Internet radar, mostly doing PhoneFactor stuff, I’m starting to get re-engaged with the online world. It having been a couple of years since the Web 2.0 (r)evolution, and since I started blogging, I thought I’d take a fresh look at some of the sites that seem to have survived and start, you know, using them again.
Stuff I’m starting to use again, in no particular order:
- Facebook has begun mushrooming on me, as it seems to have a habit of doing
- Twitter is surprisingly addictive, and might actually succeed in making me use fewer words
- del.icio.us was always interesting, to me anyway
- Plaxo is the biggest surprise to me; its original use (keeping track of contacts?) is still surprisingly good.
- LinkedIn is the only “social” site that strikes me as useful, as opposed to merely entertaining
And, of course, I’m still occasionally blogging here.
I have a few new projects cooking, a couple of which will be launching in the next week or two. Watch this space!
