A bunch of people recently have asked me about doing one thing or another online and I find myself recommending the same services again and again so I though I’d just make a post covering a few of the services I use a lot and suggest other people use. I’ll also briefly mention a few of ones I’m still looking at or avoiding all together. Also, let me preface this by saying I’m not stupid enough to think any of these applications themselves are “social” because, well, they are software, but that they enable people to be more social online. Which is good. Also, these are in addition to your own personal or business blog or website, obviously. Also not including communication things like instant messaging, video conferencing or e-mail.
The MUST USE list:
Flickr (my profile)
LinkedIn (my profile)
Twitter (my profile)
Dopplr (my profile)
pbwiki (my wiki)
Google Apps (docs, calendar, etc)
Details and info about these and others after the jump.
