There's a whole new evolution of the internet going on at the moment with regards social networking, media, bookmarking etc.
Anyone else caught up in this evolution?
Earlier in the year I really believed that I'd lost interest in the internet, that it didn't hold anything new for me, a case of same old same old, but since this social networking/media etc became the in thing, I love spending time reading the internet again and have learned a lot of new things.
I guess I use it more for business than for pleasure. I have the facebook page for both business and pleasure, linkedin and ecademy for business but I've recently been "caught" by Twitter!
I love twitter! For anyone who hasn't come across it yet, it's basically microblogging, 140 characters to post about your life, work, anything that catches your interest. I use it for business and find following other people fascinating, it can be quite voyeuristic in a sense. (I'm a dreadful people watcher in real life).
I also use stumbleupon and can easily lose an evening just stumbling from one site to another. I've also fallen for a few blogs recently and love the RSS function and follow quite a few RSS feeds for blogs, both business and pleasure.
So .... have you caught onto something new and interesting on the 'net, has social networking caught up with you or is this all gobbledygook?

Oh god how I wish I understood all this techy stuff I bet I miss out on loads :sad: I dont even understand how to use the stuff on this forum i.e Quote Code List List= Img URL all utter nonsense to me.
I love Facebook (especially the poker- when I don't have the inevitable hero hitting on me) but that's mainly coz of some of you lot, anyway!
I do like the snapshot into the lives of my friends though- without having to be invasive.
As for the other stuff you mentioned.....please don't make me look! :crazy:

Lost I am with you here!
Shall we sit together and listen to chirpy! :happy:
Maybe some of the more techy people can teach us a thing or two!
I only signed up for facebook a couple of months back and that's only because I was badgered into it - I've not logged in for weeks now. It just seems like too much effort to do "nothing", you know, like throw sheep at people or send them a badge or whatever random application (that you inevitably don't have active on your account) somebody uses on you!
I merely use it as a landing page now, if some long lost friend looks me up and finds me, well, it's done its job, but it's easy to see (if you're not as lazy as me) how people get sucked into it.
