Trailfire.com...(disclosure i've worked for them)...like del.icio.us but you can put comments directly on pages you want to come back to, and then link similar pages together Stumbleupon.com...one of my favorites, if only because it's a fantastic way to kill time when you're bored. Last.fm/Pandora. Last.fm at home, Pandora on the road, great music tools to find bands I didn't know about before As far as social networks: facebook is king, myspace music is nice, gottabet would be fun if more people used it (I'm sure that's true for nearly all social networks), linkedin Blogging tools: typepad, feedburner, mybloglog, netvibes The browser extensions/tools I use from Web 2.0 on a regular basis, social networks/blogging tools excluded..I’ve blogged about them, and their relation to college students, quite a few times.

We tell our clients all the time, internet technology/Web 2.0 is great but if it doesn't DO anything for your business it's totally pointless. It makes it easier for them when I ask them to look at their overall success online as one whole pizza pie. Then I tell them that each slice makes up a different part of their internet strategy: maybe one slice is web video, maybe another slice is blogging, another can be SEO or maybe RSS feeds. Each company has a nuanced formula because every company is different and every company's goals are different. Whatever combination works for Company X probably won't work for Company Y. And, once you get the correct pieces to your overall pie, don't keep poking around with it! :) One of the new tools that Scott Ginsberg turned me onto is Meebo at Meebome.com. Based on our latest Virtual Lunch, Scott is getting great ROI (even though there's little investment) from this tool. We're trying it out as well. Solid post.
