Open Thread: Where's Your Online Home?

Twitter. Facebook. LinkedIn. Digg. SlashDot. Jaiku. Utterz. Seesmic. The list goes on. These days there are so many places to be on the two-way web that anyone who cares to can spend all of their free time generating and posting content for the rest of us to read, view, enjoy, and respond to. Given the social nature of primates, it’s not surprising that all of this has generated an explosion of chatty online communities.

Many of us in web worker land have tried out more than one of these potential hangouts – but it’s a rare person who has time to keep up across the full spectrum of social networks. Most of us tend to gravitate to one online home where we feel the strongest sense of community. So – where is it for you? If there’s one site that you’d hate to give up because it’s the spot where everyone knows your name, which site is it, and what makes it special? And is it one of the new Web 2.0 darlings, or perhaps an older and more established internet backwater?
