I’m now on Facebook, yeah that’s right I’ve joined the masses with the networking gig… Oh and not to mention I’m also on Ning….

I don’t really have a good answer for why, I just decided that if I’m going to be in the business of Web2.0 I’d better have my hand in all the areas the web is offering right now. I really don’t have a huge opinion on FaceBook. I will say that of all the online apps I think FaceBook seems to have a good corner in the market. Just the fact that they allow third party apps to be added to their interface is huge. It gives the control back to the users and offers them the ability to make their network better or worse.

I am also in Ning. The only reason I’m in this online app is to have a hold on some of the existing apps out there. I don’t really know much about this one, but its your standard Networking tool and community portal. Honestly I’m only into Ning because I’ve heard that people consider it to be a blogging platform worth using for artists online presence.)

Some friends of mine came across this the other day. This one is a hard to to describe, but it’s kinda cool. If you’ve heard of it let me know what you think. The best i can describe it is that its a large community of people that are continually rating sites based on a thumbs up or a thumbs down. (hens the thumbs up below)

As a member you can choose through a large selection of tags that have been used to categorize web sites. You can stumble your way through sites, you can search, or you can look at other users favorites.

I wouldnt consider this the best description of Stumble but I difinetly have to give it a huge thumbs up. This afternoon I stumbled through about 25 website in about 3 categories and saw a lot of really good sites. There were also a few crap ones.

Check it out I dont think you have to sign up to take a tour. I must say though if you get into it, there is a process to it. It can take a little time.

So ive been out on the web this after looking for good add-ons and plugins for blogging. So far ive gotten into FeedBurner, Share This and Digg. Share This was the easiest one to get working. Digg seems to want to put a weird ‘; in my content, which is weird. And FeedBurner seems to be silent so i cant say much about that.

Anyway, if you notice some upgrades and they seem to suck let me know and i’ll take them out. Otherwise if you have a good inside scoop on some easy to use social networking tools let me know.

All the while ive been watching Mr. Mom. Dont you just love the 80’s and its movies? I had a choice between Mr. Mom and StarGate. I like StarGate but I’ve been here at home so much lately that I thought Id get a little home comedy.
