I'm loving the "follow" feature on my dashboard. I can easily see updates from other blogs when I visit my own - which has led me to actually bother to visit my own more often... I also signed up for twitter. I just can't imagine I really have much I want to tweet about but again it can be interesting to follow some other people/entities. I have also added a couple of things (rather than friends) to facebook and am really liking that as an option. Often by the time a weekly or monthly newsletter comes my way I just don't want to spend time with it but an individual post I can view (or not) more frequently sometimes is really satisfying.
