My Top 5 Social Media tools

Since all bloggers hate me and I have exactly zero chance of being ‘tagged’ by anyone with a blog, I have chosen to tag myself and join in the schizo party and tell all of my reader (intentionally singular) what my 5 top motherfucking social media tools are.

  • Bloglines - As I love to read blogs but hate looking at Google Ads, I have found that ye grande olde bloglines is a knockout. Yeah, some sites are bitches and refuse to serve their entire posts, but at least I only have to view the site when I see a really stimulating post. What I like best is that - being that I use several computers, bloglines always knows which posts I have or have yet to read. Totally addicted
  • Wordpress - As a blogger myself and as a web designer fora few others, I find Wordpress to be the King of All CMS software. Especially for free. But more than that, the massive community of developers who have created a massive and wonderful library of cusom plugins, themes, and widgets make this software incredibly powerful. And thanks to the orignial elegant design, even novices soon master WP.
  • Del.icio.us - I use it mostly to bookmark things I might want to peek at later. Handy, easy, and fun. Also, good for its ‘popular’ feature, one of the best ways to find the current zeitgeist of the blogosphere.
  • Myspace - Lame, I know. But, fact is, I know tons of people who are on here, way more than blog, way more than IM. Some folks even would rather send a message on Myspace than via email. Freaky.
  • Flickr - I post my picks, I can see my friends’ family’s pics. I can find new amazing and interesting images. Really extremely well done. Indespensible.

And, although I cheated by posting this without being tagged, I will attempt to tag others, who I bet will not continue the meme. Fuck it.
