I&#8217;ve written about Twitter&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rynosoft.com\/blog\/?s=twitter\" target=\"_blank\">fairly often<\/a>, but&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rynosoft.com\/blog\/2007\/11\/join-twitter\/\" target=\"_self\">this introductory article<\/a>&nbsp;is the best starting point. My last three &#8220;tweets&#8221; (Twitter messages) are always displayed at the top of the sidebar.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/del.icio.us\/rynosoft\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>de.licio.us<\/strong><\/a>: I now store many of my bookmarks on this site which gives me access to them wherever I have an internet connection. In addition to that, I can also share my links with other de.licio.us users. Ten of my most recently saved bookmarks appear in the sidebar for your viewing pleasure. This list will change several times a day.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.rynosoft.com\/gallery\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Gallery<\/strong><\/a>: This is where Tina and I display family photos for everyone to see.

Upcoming events on my calendar are listed in the sidebar.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.last.fm\/user\/rynosoft\/\"><strong>last.fm<\/strong><\/a>: All the music to which I listen on iTunes and my iPod is reported to last.fm via &#8220;scrobbler&#8221; software. I can then view charts that aggregate my listening habits over weeks, months or years. The sidebar contains one of these charts, &#8220;Weekly Top Artists&#8221;, which lists the top artists to which I listened in the previous week.<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/rynosoft\/\" target=\"_blank\">Flickr<\/a><\/strong>: Flickr is a free online service for storing and viewing your photos.
