As part of my new job, I’ve spent a few hours browsing social networking/news sites like Digg, del.icio.us and Ma.gnolia. I’ve registered myself and I’ve started to participate some, but as a new user, I find it somewhat daunting. Each one has its own rules and norms. I’m not sure I can belong to so many communities. I feel like each time I register myself, another small piece of my soul splinters off, never to be heard from again.

Maybe I’m being overly dramatic.

Anybody got any other suggestions? Sites you use that I’m missing? Besides MySpace, Flickr and YouTube, that is.

Got something to say?
