Thanks for sharing, this inspired me to set three goals for the first time and even wrote a blog post about it. My 3 Goals For 2009: Balance. Learn. Share.

It is certainly time consuming but I am also an extreme case, I sign up for almost every new social media/network service that launches. But I also work in social media so it doesn't take as much time away from family, friends and other personal obligations as you would think.

For me it's important to have a presence everywhere but you need to prioritize so choose a few of them make sense for what your goals are so, for me it’s: Facebook, Twitter, FriendFeed, and Digg. Other services, use more sporadically when it's relevant or when you get a notification. For example if I am traveling, I will use Dopplr and TripIt. It also helps to use a service like Ping.fm so at minimum you can keep your status updated on the different services.

I actually not able to make that work, I didn't thoroughly test that out but I am having the same issue. It's submitting the homepage and not the permalink of the content which I am trying to share. If I can figure out a solution, I will let you know otherwise I will be removing it.

Go to sharethis.com, register there for their code for "other web sites" and they provide you with the code which you then put within your blog/tumblr theme. They also provide you with reporting information.

Oh wow it's Delauren! I thought I recognized her. We worked at the same ad agency several years ago, we all thought it so cool that she had that car and now she is in NY Times! With that kind of car, of course she is awesome!

Re: Hey Generation-Free: What Sites Do You Pay For?

I pay for a similar set of services and I think that is about it. I do pay for email but even that I have been debating. I use Yahoo to create dummy spam email addresses (so I don't give out my real email address address).

Flickr ($25 year)
Yahoo! Mail ($20 year)
1and1 hosting ($5 month)
Skype Pro ($3 month)
Blockbuster Online ($20 month)

I recently ended my SecondLife account ($75 year). I also spend enough money with GoDaddy for renewing domain names. Besides SL, all the services I paid for bring real ultility into my life where as most other web services that I use could be considered just for fun so I don't know if I pay for example: Twitter.

yeah please let me know what you think of it after trying it out, I am just happy to finally have comments on tumblr since I don't use a more advanced blogging software

I have updated my post to reference the book and both of them. Please pass my thanks to them because as a social application developer, this data is extremely helpful I have shared it with my entire team. We were already classifying our users into types but without any demographic survey data we only were looking at in one dimension.
