The Bloggers With The Most To Say
Social Networking/Bookmarking Sites--When is enough enough?
So I was looking at my new ShareThis button on my blog and I realized how many new social bookmarking sites there were out there. Maybe they aren't new, but they're new to me. Like what is Mr. Wong and Furl and Propeller and Diigo and Yigg and Orkut? Are any of them wortwhile?

I've heard a little about a lot of them, but don't use many of them. From the ones you've named, I've only used Orkut. I don't use it often, but I know I have an account there.
Obviously social networking is a huge trend right now. Of course there are going to be a number of sites trying to be the next big thing. Some might be more niche-focused.

I've never heard of those. But Jennifer's right, social networking is huge currently. I use very few sites in comparison to how many possibilities are out there. I find that just a couple is enough for me if you consider regular maintenance, upkeep and actually using the sites.

I find it incredibly difficult to maintain more than a couple of sites. And what's the point? Right now Facebook, 20SB, Twitter, Google Reader and my blog give me everything I want. Adding more into the mix seems like it'd be overkill, if not overwhelming.
On the other hand, I sometimes enjoy checking out the sites to see what it is I really love about a networking site. Some of these new ones are much smaller or aren't developed with the right people in mind. It's interesting...to me at least!

I say just stick with Facebook, Twitter and Digg. Then call it a day.
