This month we had a casual conversation about the various sites, services and communities that we are using in our daily lives. To summarize portions of the conversation in no particularly organized manner: Facebook is the preferred community; Myspace is out. Twitter is a useful tool if you are paying attention to interesting people. There wasn’t a lot of familiarity with Jaiku and Pownce. LinkedIn is handy and not overly taxing to use. FeedDemon and Newsgator are popular blog readers amongst the group.
Some prefer Daily Motion as an alternative to YouTube.We also discussed indie music download sites that have unique business models. Songslide lets the buyer set the price and Amie Street starts the price of tracks low, but the price increases as the track becomes more popular. This is just a sampling of the conversation that was had and, of course, fine food, beer, and soda never hinder a good time. Thanks to those who attended and shared your insights:
