I've found out so many interesting sites.. Actually parents always worry that online will affect our studies.. But for me, I feel that it widen my knowledge....It depends on how we use it.. :) Yeah… I’ve found out so many interesting sites.. Actually parents always worry that online will affect our studies..

It sounds like everyone finds SU's interface kind of unfriendly. With del.icio.us you can also find other users who bookmark the same things you do and add them to your network. Some of them will notice you and add you to their network. I'm not a huge Digg fan either. I use it but I'm certainly not a power user. You're right about the rudeness. The only time I ever had anything get popular with Digg it got well over 1,000 diggs but almost all of the comments were saying that the blog post was the worst thing they'd ever seen. Karen,

Well, everyday I learn something new about SU. The site itself isn't the most user-friendly ever. They just let their members take care of themselves, omitting important and helpful info most times. I like del.icio.us. Actually, I find it better (and funnier) than SU. I just don't know how to build a network there. I could follow your example and put up a del.icio.us badge on my blog, but then again I don't think I'd be added by anyone, as my blog's reader base is so scarce. I'm not the greatest Digg fan. I find diggers too rude, therefore I mostly avoid that site. It had never occurred to me that I could check SU’s buzz section to find more stuff. Well, everyday I learn something new about SU.

For me part of the problem is that I don't use the interface as much as I use the toolbar, so some things I didn't even know were there. webgeekgirl, You have a good point. Users who leave reviews are probably better people to have as friends. I still find some good content just by looking at what people have thumb'd up though. Kevin, I think you'll find that the more you get involved with these sites the more you will get out of it. Second Life Man, Good luck with that online mojo. Michael, I'm with you, I use del.icio.us primarily to save content. I've found that it can also be a great way to find new things as well. Pelf,

I've used Digg for months now, every day, but all I ever do is flick through a few pages of the front page, then scan the upcoming ones in the design category. Not really leveraging the "friend" side of it yet... xD Delicious I use for saving content, not finding it though. SU is the best for finding great links in a certain topic I think. I really like it. :D I should start being a little more proactive in these networks.

But I just simply stumble, tag and digg. I never realize there are some other ways to find 'Quality informations'.. Thanks for your information here. I would have a try.
