David Lee King wrote an interesting post last week that outlines all of the digital communities in which he participates. He entitled it “Participating in Digital Community, or Lots of Links to David.” I thought that was a good idea and so here goes similar information for me. It would make an interesting study to know this detail about other library bloggers. I imagine it’d reveal some interesting trends:

Things I use the most:

• email (BY FAR the most activity for me online is in email communications — and my personal interface of choice is Gmail)
• Google Reader
• Meebo (I have accounts for AIM (sjoberg67), Yahoo! (steve_oberg), Google Talk (steve.oberg), and Windows Messenger (steve at obergs dot net) that I can all monitor in one place)
• my blog
• Twitter

Things I dabble in:

• Flickr
• Facebook
• Picasa
• del.icio.us
• LinkedIn
• Skype
• LibraryThing
• YouTube
• Google Docs and Spreadsheets

Things I am trying and not sure if I’ll go beyond the trial phase:

• fav.or.it
• Netvibes
• Digsby
• Adobe Photoshop Express
• coComment
• Disqus
• divShare
• Last.fm
• LiquidPlanner
• Newsgator
• Newspond
• Nutsie
• Remember the Milk
• Slideshare
• StumbleUpon
• Technorati
• Zoho
• Plaxo

Just trying to keep track of all of these places where I have a user account is a big challenge. Like David states in his post, although it may seem like this kind of participation is excessive, and this is exactly why I have actually cut back on the number of things I use, participation is key to fully understanding services like those above.
