Services I have joined lately

As you quite possibly know (as you are reading this) I join lots of new services that pop up. Almost all of them, as I come by them, and if they let me in (which can be tricky enough at times). The reasons for this varies of course, but one of the main things is that when colleagues and/or clients ask me if I have heard of a particular service I prefer to have first-hand knowledge of it. Also, obviously, I don't...

How on earth do you keep track of the 7000+ [on Twitter] people you follow, and what they say?

I also often get asked:

How do you have time to be active on all the services, you appear to be literally everywhere!?

I came across this page on Pingdom regarding the latest stats for Facebook and YouTube.

Facebook now has 600 million users worldwide, generating an estimated 770 billion page views each month.

It is a service I had completely missed in all other noise, so you might all know about it already. I didn’t, so this article is for those of you who, like me, didn’t know about it previously.
