So, I have loads of accounts that are long been forgotten after those demos are over. When I installed 1Password on my Mac, it brought in scads of accounts that are dusty and mis, er, not used. The ones that caught my eye were: http://www.tadalist.com - online todo lists just didn't do it for me. http://www.bubbleshare.com - a fun photo sharing site with word bubbles but I share Alan's enthusiasm for all thinks Flickr-lishus. http://www.livejournal.com - I was a big fan of the Friday Five but got busy and then got my own blogs so it was forgotten http://www.odeo.com - I went a different way with podcasts I “sacrifice” myself to the various interweb gods for our Technology Tuesday and Web Wednesday sessions at my school.

I'm think about going back to LibraryThing. I had switched to Shelfari some time ago (not sure why), but I've recently become annoyed with the volume of emails I get telling me what my "friends" are up to on there.

I just never think to go there. Maybe you should keep a list of resolutions in 43Things including the need to keep your LibraryThing account up to date :) Too many to count… but 43Things vexes me a bit only because I know I would use it more if I could integrate it better in my google homepage or something.

The other day, during a lull in our family routine, I sat down at my computer to relax. I just sat there staring at nothing, until my seven year-old approached and asked what I was doing. I said, "I don't know. This is my hobby. This is how I relax, but I don't remember what I do!" She just looked at me, shook her head, and said, "Twitter, Mom. You Twitter!" I have also abandoned accounts all over the place, but here are just a few. http://citypixel.com/injenuity http://www.slideshare.net/injenuity http://www.tokbox.com/injenuity Great post!

I also like that it links you to strangers ala six degrees of separation which myspace doesn't do. Friendster is cool to find friends who haven’t yet migrated to Myspace.
