See, that's why I share old content; people can have known me and seen
me around for a long time and never have seen it. Glad you enjoyed it!

This is a great guide to starting out on social networks. Thanks for sharing on Likaholix, as I must have missed it before.

Thanks for the feedback, Wayne! I think that this is just normal for any newly opened up industry. Everything is shifting to accommodate the change and everyone wants a piece of the pie. It is already starting to winnow down from competition, and I expect that will continue for awhile, with each category having a clear winner.

Great article. Honestly my head spins with all these social sites and I can't imagine the market will sustain many more that require separate setup.

@Morgan

Thanks for the feedback and suggestions. I am going to do a new
version of this post soon, and will include your suggestions (with
credit and a link, of course!).

Great post and thanks for following me on Twitter too! I've wondered about keeping a 'passport' on hand for setting up accounts on different sites. To add to your great post above:

PROFILE PIX FOLDER
i actually have a 'profile pics' folder on my desktop to store the different sizes of pictures you mention in #2 above

HTML 'list' SNIPPET
I also have some HTML code in a text file on my desktop for pasting in a list of other accounts I'm connected when given a multiline text field to paste into (like an 'About' section (like on my Flickr account (http://www.flickr.com/people/memeshift/ )

PASSWORDS
I also have a sticky note with all passwords for the sites I log into regularly

Wow! Some seriously helpful information. I have signed up for many services, but was doing well to keep up with just one or two of them. I can’t wait to set this up and try it out. Thanks for the Big Assist!

Ah, yes I get you. Yeah, that happens to my FF, but I don’t particularly care because I consider that a natural part of the aggregator side of things. People see your feed and say “Oh, he’s on Brightkite, too” and add you there, etc.

Re: recursion … I have seen some strange things happen when people use Ping.fm and FF. Your FriendFeed can quickly become redundant, that’s all. As an example. I was using a Tumblr blog to repost the things I had favorited in FF (among a number of other things); I also had a Jaiku account syndicating my Tumblr. Both my Tumblr & my Jaiku accounts were added to my FF, so I was seeing FF items posted to Tumblr then reposted back on FF as coming from Tumblr and a couple of hours later, Jaiku. See what I mean?

It doesn’t add value to have your content folding in on itself.

@Clay

Thanks for your kind words! Don’t know what you mean about recursion errors using FF, Twhirl, and Profilactic in tandem, though. I have no problems.
