With Twitter skyrocketing in popularity these days, so much so that Google wants to buy it (UPDATE: It's BS, Google isn't buying Twitter) , Facebook taking in Myspace's users in droves, plus, mass confusion on whether Second Life is brimming with possibility & enterprise or falling into obscurity, AND EVEN the general state of the real world economy causing masses to play on the internet, I thought I would give my roundup as to what web 2.0 and social networking services I am currently using (and which ones I decided to stop using).
There are many bloggers and posters out there that have already concocted their best of lists and why they choose each service. There are going to be many more to come, including web 2.0 flowcharts, posts about blogging, blogs about posting, digging to tweeting to facebook.. oh my! All of which can get confusing. This is simply my personal favorites list currently.
Sidenote: I have completely left out any consideration regarding mobile technology. Simply put, I don't have and use a mobile device so I have yet to test.
