I’m purging my online identity to just a few locations that I actually use since it was getting out of control. The major account escape that led to the purge was myspace, as you might have noticed if I’m a friend of yours. The others include:
- tumblr - It’s a great “blog” service that compiles a lot of your online feeds into one online log. I liked the idea but it’s not something I see people using (for me) since if their my friend they can see my feed at facebook.
- last.fm - I never used this as much as I wanted. I think it still get’s my iPod updates but that will stop very soon.
- myspace - Not only did I rarely use myspace I never liked it, I actually hated it. The navigation is obnoxious to say the least and facebook is now my “social network” of choice.
- virb - I was pushed into using it.
- CoComment - An awesome idea especially since I originally had the idea a long time ago. But I find that it doesn’t work very well unless the blog integrate it (which is a very few).
- digg.com - Ever since the DVD hex code debacle I’ve come to the conclusion that community is a bunch of childish kids; and the founders aren’t making it any better.
On the chopping block
- Newsvine - Wonderful news site that should have replaced digg but where digg strives in minimalism (for those kids) newsvine is too cluttered with content.
- aim - If I could I’d shut it off now but some people still use it.
- del.icio.us - This is one of those services that I love but I’m just not using it. Namely becuase I can’t stand having it clogged up with bookmarks I know I’ll never comeback to. I’m also curious to find out if Google bookmarks is going to incorporate into Google Reader since I do star a lot of feeds already.
The ones I’ll keep:
- This site (of course) - It’s my ultimate online presence.
- Twitter - Something that’s already a major extension of this site for mobile/short posts and is integrated into my next service…
- Facebook - I’m a new user but I’m definitely enjoying myself. And with the apps I can play and develop at the same time. Better yet I can include my other online presences into one, just like my blog.
- Flickr - I wont be leaving flickr anytime soon.
- Google Reader Shared - Something that I’m sure no one is subscribed to but I love putting it out there for the one who might.
- Google Talk - I’m one GTalk 24/7 through my BB and I love the features and client. Chat history rocks.
There are more but as you can tell there are way to many listed already.
