Social networking

I recently signed up for Twitter and it is actually ok. I get some updates that have links to breaking stories. I haven't joined Facebook. I already belong to Mybloglog, BlogCatalog, Digg, Technorati and Stumbleupon. I hardly use those social networking tools anymore but keep them active to some degree.

I think they are great tools if you are more socially active. In the beginning, I used these tools to help me blog and to learn how to attract traffic. Most of those sites are just self promotion tools now, so I have lost some interest in them. I would still recommend using them if you are a new blogger.
