So I've been pretty bored with this whole blogger/blogspot set up. My HTML skills peaced out long ago and lately I just haven't had time for epically long blog posts.
Thus:
Flavors.me
A friend mentioned Flavors.me on facebook a week or so ago, and loving all new web things, I checked it out. It's still in the Beta stage (thank god) but I gave them my email and less than a day later, I was in. It's a pretty basic (but ingenious) aggregator of various personal accounts like Tumblr, Flickr, Last.fm, Netflix, Twitter, etc. There aren't many customizing options but I'm sure that will change as people test it out and build upon it.
Pros:
I like that it allows me to have one place where friends/stalkers can see my Netflix queue, Twitter feed, and Good Reads bookshelf. Perhaps you're looking for a new book to enjoy? Czech out all the awesome vampire/romance/trashy goodness I read :)
Cons:
Last.fm is pretty lame, wish you could import Pandora or your iTunes and you can't synch your blogger feed. You can import any RSS but then you lose any video you may have posted . . . thus:
TUMBLR
I tried out Tumblr about 2 years ago (and sadly don't remember my login so buh-bye thekungfaux.tumblr.com) and wasn't impressed. It seemed WAY too ADD for what I was looking for at the time. However, with the lack of blogger compatibility on Flavors.me and after checking out a few friends Tumblrs, I decided to give it another chance. I'm REALLY digging it so I'll probably be posting more and more over there. Sorry Blogger. The templates are nothing to write home about but I may try to see if one of my friends who rules at HTML will help me build a legit site on it.
Pros:
I love how quickly and easily I can post pictures, video, a link, or a quote. I also really like the "re-blogging" feature, some people have awesome posts.
Cons:
I don't like how multiple pictures become a slide show instead of sequence of pictures.
So feel free to check out my new sites:
