Hey, this is a great list! It’ll help us at US EPA learn how people are using these tools, so we can get into the right places and help them find the environmental info they want.

Hi Shama,

I do use Facebook. Currently, I use it primarily to maintain personal friendships and relationships. Moving far away form home and my hub of core friends, etc, I find Facebook to be a great tool to of staying in touch, and I much prefer it to MySpace. Though, my use of the medium has declined as now I prefer connecting through my blog, Twitter and Linkedin.

Though, as time goes on, I’m finding that it’s harder to keep the various online worlds apart. What are your thoughts?

@ HeyStephanie, Thanks for checking in, and I look forward to seeing a fellow bloggers ritual as well.

@ Osocio I def. agree that there are days where the ‘ritual’ gets cut down, and that oftentimes, there are great sources others lead me to. Part of the fun for me, is discovering the new resources and especially the people behind them. Twitter is probably my most used source as well. I’m on FriendFeed, but I still prefer Twitter.

@chrisbrogan You asked a great question, which I started to allude to at the end of my post. ‘Listening’ is not only a great brainstorming tool for new ideas, but it’s especially fun for me to think about what it all means and to think about the concept of influence. I loved that you brought that concept up in your blog post. Currently, I use the information I gather for my research, that I’m fortunate to present at the World Social Marketing Conference in England this upcoming September. And, hope to turn into a paper. I also use the information I find for clients. Currently I work at a social marketing firm (the real social marketing), and we have many government agencies as clients. It’s a fun challenge to be creative and innovative to get social media integrated into government communications. Lastly, I find it well-served to always have information in the back of my mind to pull from because you never know when it will come in handy. What about you? What do you do with the information? or, what do you think people should do with the information, but don’t?

Here’s my question, and not meant rudely: what do you DO with all that information you collect? What comes next?

Forgot one: referrers. Pointed me often to websites I never heard of.
A question which is related: We are all addicted to social marketing, but do you have enough time left to stumble across your other interest?

Due to a overscheduled daily programm I changed my ritual. I became more passive but I’m lucky to get tips about anything by mail. Mail, Twitter and delicious are now my most important sources.
Also noticed that most surpises came from mediasources I never checked, which somebody in my network pointed me to.

That is a long ritual and sadly, mine is probably just as long. I’ll try to put together my ritual this weekend and share with you once I get a chance.
