Chris Brogan has compiled a great list of 50 online applications sitting within the social media sphere.

My personal favourites:

- Wordpress.com
- Twitter
- StumbleUpon
- Digg
- Reddit
- LinkedIn
- Pandora (circa 2006 before they banned people from outside the US)
- Twingly
- YouTube (circa 2006 before people really started to abuse it)

In an act of unimaginable mercy, Viacom has bowed to public pressure and scaled down their request for personal information from Google/YouTube.

Google can now provide anonymous but unique identifiers about their users rather than specific IP addresses.

Good news for privacy advocates and those that scrambled manically to delete any evidence that they once watched South Park in the office.
