"Out of date" here is varying. I'm "new blood" in comparison to some of 
the seasoned members of the list. While there are many millions of 
users on AIM/ICQ, YIM, MSNM, IRC, and a few hundred thousand on Jabber, 
there is a significantly more "productive" email presence of some other 
populations of people on the internet. As for IRC, I try to keep up 
with at least 20 different channels on maybe four networks, but it can 
be difficult.

Somebody else mentioned blogs. I try to keep up with enough blogs that 
gives me a dx of nearly 1k/day. I have a list somewhere on my website, 
for anybody interested -- not too many electronics blogs, though. They 
are useful: lots of robotics, new-space, etc. Biology. (I might be 
reading more than Scoble.)

Social networking websites? Last night I found a list of 300; hopefully 
I can get through them all and register. Make myself accessible. 
Forums? http://heybryan.org/forums.html

Re: family/friends only? I make myself as open as humanly possible. So 
far it has introduced me to some of the wonderful people of the 
internet. 

Just my perspective.
