1. My issue with facebook is that I feel bad rejecting requests to add friends, invitations to events, and applications I don't want. And yes, I know this is lame. I am actually thinking of nixing my account and just going back to blogging as my online outlet/identity/whatever. And no, I don't think the connections have been that valuable. To me, IM was/is a better social networking tool. Wow, I just sounded like an old fart to myself, at 24. I guess if you use facebook with intention, it's a good tool, but as a "destination" it's just become full of noise.
2. Nope. I might start watching videos of DIY stuff, but that's about it. I just cut off my cable I don't want to just replace it with online spectation.
3. A half-dozen RSS feeds in Google Reader, all blogs as opposed to general news. I scan digg, slashdot, and reddit but rarely click through any links anymore (thank god reddit wasn't around in '04 or I would've been just like the people spamming it up with political outrage now). Not much I'd change about news.yc, in fact I'm kind of obsessed by the simplicity of its UI, and have enjoyed the quality. I hope the specificity of the topic will limit the dilution seen at the general news sites.
