    Hey Josh. Thank you much for sharing your favorite online places. Would you mind elaborating though? For example you say you love StumbledUpon. Why? How do you find it useful? Can you give examples of how you use Digg to find what is hot? Hot information? Hot ideas? Not sure if anybogy else would benefit bt I know I'd love a follow up article or post as to how you use these various sites/tools...
