I love using Reddit and Sphinn (mostly web developer community). Another is Twitter which I am getting accustomed to. Reddit was basically a techie/programming site but has much more turned into a political sphere, well more like Ron Paul love fest. <em>Gary R.

Another thing I've found that helps is Twitter. Now don't laugh, Twitter makes you have to type everything in 140 letters or less. It really makes you think about what you're trying to say and how to say exactly what you mean without running out of space. Theatre breaks, my goal is to write a review of most of the social sites out there. There are way too many that I'm a member of but never use, so I'd at least like to take a good look at them, see how to use them best, and then decide whether I want to be active on them or not, and figured others might like a quick review of various sites too. I'll definitely add Flickr and youTube to the list, and will keep my eyes open for other niche networking sites too. StumbleUpon, in my opinion, depends on how you use it. You can make it fit almost any niche you want by adjusting your interests and only choosing friends who share those interests. Also, if you're a member, you can request to create a group/forum for a category you're interested in. Devonia, I’m glad that helped! Another thing I’ve found that helps is Twitter.

Yes it's the conversation that is important but I think it works better when there's an initial reason for being on the site, like to share photgraphs or exchange ideas and anecdotes about a particular topic rather than just "me" "me" "me" and "me and my friends". So why not start with a guide to Flickr, or youTube as social networking sites with more of a purpose. Stumbleupon I suppose is all about website URLS but that can get a bit to "meta" for me sometimes. Perhaps I should explore the categories more.

Your comments were my first lesson --- allow several comments to accumulate and then respond, individually not collectively, to each in one comment post, in the order of the initial comments. Not too much, not too little ( Now that is a knack I'll have to work to achieve)- just like Baby Bear's soup. Thanks! Well, there you go.

So far I haven't had any takers though. :) I totally understand your dithering...I feel the same way...and then there's the worry about whether I wrote too much or too little, how much about myself I really should be sharing, and all the other communications worries we introverts have. But I'm working on the first article this morning (was working on another yesterday, and had a reminder that I was skipping an important area that should come first. Hopefully I'll have it finished by this afternoon (since I'm writing around a 4 yr old, my time schedules sometimes are a little odd). Allan, I hadn't even though of that, but I'll try to add it in. Good idea! :) TzuVelli, That's what I was thinking. Since I'm going to be learning to use many of the sites as I write, it will be easy to know some of the issues that newbies have with each one. That's one of the hard parts about StumbleUpon for me, I've been using it for so long, it's almost second nature, and I don't think about things like how to add pictures or friends until someone asks me how to do it.

What I'd like to see is a comparison if you like, of how different sites work. You've written before about how Stumbleupon is more than just a bookmarking site, and how people who are used to one site then try and use a new site the same way. I think that a series of articles like this should help a lot of people, and I wish you well with it!

Please do this. Like you, I'm an introvert, much more "comfortable" posting information driven posts for my blog than personal content and I don't have a clue what is expected of me regarding comments. It hurts if I have none; but if I do, I'm in a panic wondering if I just let them sit there, respond to each one - GOSH! I need RULES. Am I being rude if I don't respond? Over-agressive if I do? ARGHHHH! And that's just my reaction to blog comments - imagine what a dither a network can cause for me? Who are these folks? What do they expect? Whimper - and whine. I"m just not a natural at this! So might you please give some pointers on the social side of blogging and networking - sooner not later. My blog is piling up with social minefields. <em>Devonia's last blog post..</em><a href='http://manyshadesofshabby.blogspot.com/2008/01/and-winner-is-sharon.html'>And the Winner is....Elaine!</a> YES!
