Where does your cyber self hang out?

[BeBop]

I used to be all over: lonelyplanet, jazzcorner, jazzcentralstation, jazzonline, rec.music.bluenote, West Coast Jazz forums, hotelchatter...

I find I'm down to just a couple. Time and value are strong considerations. But also the "atmosphere".

No myspace. No facebook.

Here mainly; stop in at AAJ from time to time; the Motley Fool daily; lately hanging around Destination Out more and more; Talking Points Memo; I know when land at Huffpost I've reached the point of complete boredom and it's time to log off.

HERE. That's about it.

As far as participation, only three: The Big O, the Steve Hoffman Forum (for actual music discussion only - I avoid ALL discussions "audiophile" related -- which I know, is HALF the content), and for only about the last 6 months, Reddit (some of which is like Fark, and much of which (if you tweak your user settings right) is just like the best of our miscellaneous discussions right here -- only if this place had 10,000+ users).

I read TPM frequently enough that I try not to miss anything there. I also read Salon and Slate a fair bit, though not as often.

That's about it.

I used to enjoy Digg very much, but they changed it, and it has collapsed.

Try Reddit. I stopped looking at Digg when they changed the interface and went to Reddit. You might like it.

[Van Basten II]

On a Quebec based music blog and that's about it, used to be all over the place in Football and boxing boards not so much nowadays.

Reddit's great. Great as a lurker or a poster, and you ought to at least create a user-login, if for no other reason then you can subscribe to only the specific sub-reddits you want to.

If you want the Reddit YOU see to only be stories about Economics, International Politics, and Antique Typewriters -- you can do that. You can also make it all and ONLY about Online Videogames, Slacker Recipes, and MILF Porn -- you can do that to. Or ONLY job hunting advice, cute pictures of animals, and Battlestar Galactica (just those three, and nothing else). Reddit is EXACTLY and ONLY the content and related discussion threads you want it to give you.

It's a brilliant interface, whether you actually post or just lurk. But the real filtering power doesn't even present itself until you create a user-login (which takes only 3.8 seconds, and requires you to share absolutely NO personal information -- not even your e-mail address, if you don't want to.)

Plus, the threaded commenting that dynamically sorts all comments based on voting by the entire community (one user, one vote), is amazing.

It's good as a lurker, but great if you can tweak it to only the stuff you like.

OK, I'll try reddit. I miss Digg, and I gathered that many Diggers moved over to there.

aloc, we'll get you started on traditional wetshaving if you're not already there!

[Jazzmoose]

Here and a pipe smoking forum is about it for the 'social stuff' these days.

[.:.impossible]

Straight razor shaving, pipe smoking... These are some dark dark corners of the world wide web.

I don't know what this face means, but we are now in a staring contest Chuck.

I turn on private browsing before visiting most of my cyber handouts...

Where are these cyber handouts going down? I want in.

[Larry Kart]

Here, Josh Marshall's Talking Points, Dave Kehr's movie blog, Col. Pat Lang's site, U.C. Berkeley economist Brad DeLong's site, Pro Football Talk -- those would be tops.

[Tim McG]

Besides here, I spend a fair amount of time on another Jazz site, a wine site, FaceBook and my e-mail.

I really don't have the time for much else.

i still have my mach 3 training wheels on, although i ocassionally fantasize about my old twin edged gillette blue blades(ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh).

a straight razor shave from a lady, ah. now, that's a real fantasy, unless she's a nurse.

with my luck, my nurse would probably be a guy.

[GA Russell]

aloc, ditch the cartridge blades! We'll talk you into going back to the safety razor and double edge blades!

HERE. That's about it.

Same here.

I cut down on cybertime a long time ago.

I feel I spend too much time at O.

I try to live a life in realtime!

Thirded. I enjoy the time I spend here, but don't want to take any more time out of my life and spend it on other sites.
