Digg, Del.icio.us and Stumble Upon are suddenly where it’s at. Just for fun, I’ve been using the above three web sites/information services over the past 6 months or so. I was doing it to see whether the concept of “social networking” really works (for me). The idea of these services, by the way, in case you missed them somehow, is that they recommend sites and web pages for you. (Social networking and Web 2.0 now seem to have taken on the same meaning, but I’m not sure why).

• Stumble upon is for entertainment mainly (I use it when I’m bored because it throws up interesting web pages http://www.jigsawdoku.com/ for example).
• Del.icio.us is for serious web research. I prefer it to Google when I’m looking for good information sources.
• Digg is for news. It’s especially good for technology news.

Here’s my conclusion; social networking is a powerful force. It harnesses the power of the group. It changes the Internet dynamic.

None of these sites are going to change the world.

We’re done here—for the moment.
