I have looked at Library Thing before, and I really like it. It seems like a good way to share what you like and to find more related things. My list is at http://www.librarything.com/catalog/mstdenver
Delicious could be very useful for me since I use a number of different computers, depending on where I am and what I am doing. Also I like the fact that you can have multiple tages for each bookmark.
It seems reasonable to proceed out of sequence, since I don't have an immediate topic for screencasting and don't teach.

I added labels to one of my blog's posts.

Through Podcast.com I found a genealogy podcast by someone I am familiar with. I added it to my Google Reader account. I know that there are LOTS of podcasts I may be interested in.
For a long time I have used Youtube to find music, particular songs or groups. There seems to be an infinite number of concerts there, for almost anything you could look for and more.

A pair of chickadees nest in our yard every year.
Downloaded Google Talk, although can chat in my Gmail account. I haven't added a lot of contacts but created some, and sent one invitation to chat. Since I work on this on my weekends, it may be difficult to find someone online to chat with.

I have been using Twitter for a long time; it is a good way to keep up with what my daughters are doing, and they with me. Anything asynchronous but frequently updated is useful for comunicating with busy people. I also follow some interesting people and friends and Science Friday on NPR.

I've been on Facebook for a while now and found some old friends from childhood as well as assorted other people. Today I jointed the Library 2.0 interest group.
Getting back to the Things after visiting family, bronchitis (getting better finally).
For RSS, using Outlook did not seem to work when I tried to set a feed up, but it may be that the fact that I am using Remote Desktop may have confused things. I set up accounts in both Bloglines and Google Reader and both work well. I don't find RSS that difficult, although it may take time to learn all the uses, such as following Flickr tags.
