Informal Survey: Who Uses What [technology & social media]?

Guys:

Here's a very quick, very informal survey for members of our community, "Who Uses What [in terms of internet technology and social media]?". Here is how I would fill out my imaginary survey form:

  • workhorse computer: desktop PC with big monitor and Firefox browser
  • laptop: old school IBM thinkpad, may it live and be well
  • is there an Apple in the house?: Yes, Mac Mini used only for browsing.
  • wireless = Blackberry
  • cellphone: $20 Samsung from 2005 [no camera!!]
  • Facebook: no . . . let that be for the kids
  • Linkedin: no
  • Twitter: Yes . . . love it / wish I could spend more time Tweeting!!
  • RSS reader: set one up last night, beginning to explore
  • favorite aggregator: playing with Watches area on Alltop, but not there yet
  • photohosting: Flickr
  • Most frequently visited watch-related blogs: Hodinkee and Calibre11
  • Other favorite watch-related forums: IVHOC (but it seems very slow, on technical side, and has gotten quiet, in terms of postings), VetroPlastica (but it seems to be moving toward Italian language content), TimeZone (two visits per week) and WatchUSeek (occasionally)
We are exploring RSS feeds from this forum, so I am just wondering whether there is any interest in that technology . . . which made me wonder about all these other technologies.

Respond as you see fit . . . follow my headings or write your own . . . shout out anything that we might need to know to make this forum and community a better place for you!
