Its funny how when you don't pay close attention to the world unfolding in the internet, you quickly lose track of things. For example, Squidoo is a site that never made it onto my radar. But I have now used Squidoo, and I tend to think its a pretty decent site. I like it both for the fact that it can be a useful respoitory for how-to documentation, but also for its promotional capabilities. Ig uess that's basically the point of it.
Another juggernaut is twitter. I tend to resist new ideas as being crap, and long felt twitter fell into this category. But I've tried twitter, and although I'll never be a wild and crazy twitterer, I can see how it is beneficial to those who use it. To a lot of people, that will mean things like keeping in touch with loved ones, or friends...but the real thrust of the site is that it is a quick and painless way in which to build backlinks. Really, the internet tends to boil down to that. Offer an ability to build backlinks, and people will use your service. Just ask Digg. Or Delicious.
