Such a good show & their episode on social networking is excellent.

I do have a Facebook account, which is for personal use, as well as ones at ravelry & The Green House, which uses Ning - an excellent & easy tool for anyone to create their own social networking site. These are fun ways to keep in touch with others, as well as useful for keeping myself organized.

ravelry lets me easily keep track of my knitting projects past, present & future, yarn stash & has excellent forums & ways to interact with others. The creators are very responsive to their audience & this enables them to have a truly unique & high-quality product.

The Green House is less polished than the other two, but has a great user base & the creator has a good sense of humor & passion for the subject of living "green." It's an excellent place to ask questions & share your own experiences - the good, the bad & the ugly (seriously, there are some ugly chickens out there, people!).

I enjoy visiting these sites, but as I said before, it's all or nothing with me. My ravelry stats won't be updated for a month or two & then suddenly I upload a ton. My Facebook status will say I can't wait for Spring in the middle of June. What keeps me more engaged is being able to access these sites on my mobile device. Since getting it, I have been more apt to stay on top of Facebook & twitter, thanks to apps being available for both that enable me to check in on the go.
