I have a decent sized list. Some I go to daily, othersI'll be obsessed with for a few days, forget about for a month, and then remember about it only to become obsessed again.

1. http://www.digg.com . I used to sign in every day and actively discuss questions and digg or bury things. I still visit the site almost daily or more, but I haven't signed in in weeks. No need. The only time I sign in is if I have a particular point to discuss or someone to add for later. Who knows, maybe it'll come back around. I like it because it's always full of interesting and new content.

2. http://www.fmylife.com . This is a relatively new one that you might not have heard of yet, but it's basically exploded into popularity since it started. I don't actually have an account but I visit it daily and read the comments. I'm sure submission in the future will compel me to make an account. I stay because it's a solid source of humor, however, it has it's good days and it's bad days as far as content.

3. http://www.facebook.com . This is a given. All my friends use it constantly, so it's a great way to keep in touch. The number of my friends without facebook could likely be counted on one hand.

4. Another answers site.. . Similar to mahalo answers, minus the comments and the tips. I used this non-stop for a year before I found Mahalo and obtained the highest level possible, so it's sort of hard to stop. I have a lot of friends on the site I'm loyal to, so I still go back to answer their questions. I'm trying to make the switch gradually. I find Mahalo is a lot more serious and the other is much more immature, so I go there for my stupid questions like "What should I have for Lunch" or "Which shirt do you like better". I find those aren't things that belong here. Also, I go there when I need a quick answer. Because of the sheer volume of users there, all your answers come in within 5 minutes, where as here they come in pretty evenly over 2 or 3 days. Also, with the more immature users there, there are a lot of questions like "Am I pregnant" coming from 14 year olds who are clearly misinformed. Those just don't exist here - yet.

I have plenty more that I've used in the past, like myspace, that I just don't use any more. I can't even think of others specifically at the moment but there have been tons. I DONT do twitter.. yet. I find facebook takes care of just about everything I need, and none of my friends use twitter.. so what reason do I have to switch over?

Thanks !
