When I browse I tend to check out many news sites using www.aldaily.com as a good homepage for that. I often look through TED for inspiration and lateral thinking and I use You Tube generally in the same way. For social networking I use facebook and twitter (somewhat reluctantly because of all the question marks against them in my mind) and LinkedIn. For educational networking , google+ educational groups mainly. Email and combined activities are done through google (waldorfy@gmail.com with web science in the subject line please). For music listening I utilize soundcloud, lastFM and musicovery. I subscribe to selected figures like Siemens, Downes and Hart in particular and either bookmark them in firefox or organise them in netvibes. Other information is stored in evernote, pinterest and dropbox (while networking is in progress). As a family we use online banking. I search quite specifically with specialist engines (also the invisible web) and more generally academically with sweetsearch, Google Blog Search and Google Scholar. For general searches I use google or DuckDuckGo
