It&#8217;s really how I stay connected with a lot of people, It&#8217;s also great for poking wars. This is definitely the biggest social tool to hit my generation (I guess MySpace is up there, too).<\/p>\n<p>Newsgator is basically the same as Facebook, but instead of connecting and being social with friends, I consider Newsgator the way I &#8216;socialize&#8217; with the world. I read my news, check my friends blogs, etc. I have a bunch of cool feeds and I&#8217;ll easily check this 4 or 5 times a day.<\/p>\n<p>As the owner of 3 (soon to be 4) websites I&#8217;m absolutely in love with WordPress. It&#8217;s so easy for me to write entries, manage my sites, and keep my visitors coming back. I really don&#8217;t have to do any work. Plus, I could setup a pretty slick WordPress setup (plugins and all) with my eyes closed.<\/p>\n<p>Meebo is great because I don&#8217;t three other programs open in order to instant message people. I don&#8217;t hold lengthy conversations online anymore but it definitely is a great way to keep in contact with people, discuss breif topics and just say &#8216;hi&#8217; sometimes. Meebo is definitely one of the few tabs that are always open in Firefox.<\/p>\n<p>Last but not least, Flickr is one of my favorite sites. I love pictures and by pairing them with my friends I&#8217;m pretty happy. Truth be told, Facebook is where the majority of my friends put their pictures (and now I can order prints through Facebook!) but Flickr is one of those fun, nerdy, web2.0 sites that I just love. I have a RSS feed for my contact&#8217;s pictures, I upload pictures from my phone. It&#8217;s just fun!<\/p>\n<p>So, I&#8217;m curious, what are your favorite social media tools?
