Your question is generic, but your poll is specifically social networking?

Bebo: have an account, used it once... about 3 years ago, haven't touched it since.
Tagged: never heard of it.
Twitter: no use for it.
MySpace: never bothered.
Facebook: usually at least once a day.

Otherwise, when I'm bored, I cycle through many things: my.opera, <a href="http://slashdot.org">Slashdot</a>, <a href="http://lifehacker.com">LifeHacker</a>, <a href="http://www.nogripracing.com">NoGrip</a>, <a href="http://www.wired.com">Wired</a>, <a href="http://www.youtube.com">YouTube</a> (plus whatever might come through on RSS)... if I'm <i>really</i> bored, or otherwise "frustrated" then I'll usually watch a <a href="http://topdocumentaryfilms.com">documentary</a>, <a href="http://www.documentarywire.com">of some</a> <a href="http://www.moviesfoundonline.com">sort</a>... if I manage to get through all of those and still haven't found something better to do... then I'll game... after that I give up and sleep...lol

Not sure how long you've been using the internet, but after about 16 years... it all gets rather monotonous, spend most of my bandwidth either uploading, or downloading... but otherwise ignoring it.

My Opera, Facebook (though less now), messaging a girl I like in Australia (might use VOIP for this if we can get things working on her end), email for work, testing people's connections (my current employment is installing satellite Internet), research for my company. Occasionally Youtube, and I might get back into listening to Mike Malloy. Used to use EchoLink but I haven't had any QSOs is awhile so I have kinda fallen out (any HAMs on here give me a shout and maybe we can arrange a QSO).

Oh and of coarse I use the GasBuddy app to report fuel prices bigsmile.
