    What social bookmarking sites do you use?

    Digg? Facebook? Reddit?

    Maybe something a little less social like Slashdot?
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    Social bookmarking. The internet just makes life so much more exciting.

    Re: What social bookmarking sites do you use?

    I used to Digg original Hexus articles but the number of visitors doing the same was so miniscule I found it a waste of time. Thanks for the post though Steve, it's prompted me to arrange to have my Digg account deleted.
    My only concern is should I hide my true identity? A costume maybe?

    I don't use any either... well, apart from forums.hexus.net. They generally point me to anything interesting.

    Re: What social bookmarking sites do you use?

    I don't use any sites like facebook/myspace/bebo.

    They are too insecure.

    It's bad enough that the government lose our data every week as it is, without me putting it up on the internet to be borrowed by some peadophile that's trying to find little kids to fiddle.

    Does that really matter?

    It's up to you to decide what information and details you put on there. You don't have to tell the world you rmost intimate secrets.

    Re: What social bookmarking sites do you use?

    Of course not, and most of my internet life is either faked or sketchy.


    My age is faked for quite a few online sites, as I went onto them 3-4 years ago aged like.. 10-11 and they needed age 13 to enter.

    Re: What social bookmarking sites do you use?

    The only good thing about facebook is the way people I know who are all over the place due to moving for work or women can post images and stuff for our group to see.

    Other than that all the bloody zombie requests, werewolve requests and hotty not notty request can bugger off as I'm not installing them at all *EVER* OKAY !!

    15! So in the history thread I've been engaging in the thrust and parry of intellectual conversation with a whelp? A pup? A jelly legged mud skipper who is still waiting for his balls to drop?

    A boy, nothing more. With a name tag in his coat and mittens attached on bits of string?

    Re: What social bookmarking sites do you use?

    Hang on, I think some people are confusing social bookmarking sites with social networking sites.

    As for me, I read Fark.com. I did read Digg for a while, but the comments section on each article there makes your average Youtube comments page look like Booker Prize winning material.
