I have an account, but am ambivalent about it. When I log in, easy to
waste (and I mean waste) a lot of time. I primarily use it as another
outlet for Twitter.
> * linkedin
I have an account, but don't use it a lot. I get occasional job
offers. Useful for active job seekers, though.
> * twitter
Love it. Use it hourly.
> * bebo
> * plaxo pulse
Don't use either.
> * digg
> * stumbleupon
I prefer DZone: <http://www.dzone.com/>
> * youtube
I definitely recommend it to clients as a way to syndicate video.
> * myspace
Used to use it a lot, but similar to Facebook. Still useful for bands,
though.
> * nowpublic.com
> * newsvine.com
Haven't heard of either.

Flickr. I definitely recommend it to clients as place to store and
manage their photos. I then display the photos on their site via the
API.
