I just a really interesting lunch meeting where we discussed social networking sites like Flickr and MySpace and the like. Do any of you use Del.icio.us? I just found out about it, and it sounds pretty neat... just wondered if anyone else here was using it.
MySpace is a cancer on the internet. It exists in a magical bubble where the web design aesthetics of 1996 are alive and well. ;p
Yeah, we didn't really dwell too much on MySpace... mostly we ended up talking about del.icio.us, flickr, last.fm, and Youtube as being the up and coming networking/sharing sites.
committed to Flickr... I thought delicioso was more of a tag linking dbase of sorts... meaning sites that get tagged or linked to would bubble up to the top for easy consumption by the masses. didn't know it was a social networking site too
Well, maybe not so much social networking, but group collaboration sites... and I was thinking "I wonder why Toybotstudios uses Blogger instead of the Microsoft blogging site"...
i've seen deli.cio.ous (or whatever) around but have no idea what it is. i love flickr. i've met quite a few great people with the same interests. and its almost eerie how many times you meet the friend of a friend with the same interests whose brother in law loves robots etc. etc. etc. great site.
WASHINGTON — The White House is distributing government-produced, anti-drug videos on YouTube, the trendy Internet service that already features clips of wacky, drug-induced behavior and step-by-step instructions for growing marijuana plants. The decision to distribute public service announcements and other videos over YouTube represents the first concerted effort by the U.S. government to influence customers of the popular service, which shows more than 100 million videos per day. http://www.newsvine.com/_news/2006/09/18/366578-us-uploads-anti-drug-videos-to-youtube
The only thing YouTube has influenced me to do is avoid stomping grapes: http://youtube.com/watch?v=90m2Xw_Haj0

you're just hearing of delicius? here are some other big ones - facebook is huge. something like 90% of undergrads are on it and something like 2/3 log on every day - yelp is growing - riffs is sorta fun - librarything is just for books but it's an awesome site - 43 things is big - livejournal is gigantic that should keep you busy for a while
