Del.ice.ous, or maybe just, well, okay.

Frankly, I'm stricken with not caring about some of the social bookmarking sites. I'm sort of intrigued with Stumble upon, since the idea of just seeing "watever's next" on the internet dial is kind of fun. I think that the primary problem with the web is that there's a finite amount of time to work on it each day, and if you're trying to be goal-directed and get through your favorite sites, it takes quite a while, without mucking about in a whole bunch more.

For me, I've got an IGoogle page set up that aggregates my GMail, my "to do" list, news, pics of the day, famous quotes, etc.. In addition I have all my sites that I normally use set up in Firefox so that I just launch them all at startup and tab back and forth between them. Finally, my website has a page of all my favorite links, allowing me to just bop into all my friends' sites and blogs as I see fit. I suppose that reading Slashdot theoretically is quite similar to reading Digg, just more focused on nerdy stuff, so I guess I'm already working with a "social news" site.

Anyway, that's my take on things.
