I just signed up to StumbleUpon, I have been using del.icio.us more and more recently, I occasionally Digg worthy sites and I have a small MyBlogLog community. Sites and services like this are great fun, useful and part of the whole web 2.0 experience. Having been pretty quiet online, save for this blog and a few comments I make on others' blogs, I am not really a member of any community. This means that I have been missing out on one of the main ingredients in this social Internet: friends.

I'm not complaining about being lonely, I just want someone to share my bookmarks with, someone who might enjoy articles that I digg, someone to guide my stumbling, even a few more members in my MyBlogLog community. So go on, add me, make me your friend on any of the above and let me share more of my experiences with you.

It's not all selfish though, I want to see what you have bookmarked, what you digg, what you like to stumble. I'd like to join your community, read your blog and be your friend too. Web 2.0 is the social web and I want to play a bigger part in it.

While we are on this topic, if you have any tips for how to use these services not to increase traffic, but to get a better experience of the web, please leave me a comment. I'd be very interested to hear how you use any of the sites I mention above, or whatever your favourite web 2.0 site is.
