Organized online?? Here's my system:

Facebook is where my friends are.

LinkedIn is where business contacts are

TypePad is where I follow top bloggers

Twitter is nice to follow media companies that push our their stories & clever people

MySpace is where an old account that I don't use is.

Yahoo! is where I track personal email, business news, stock tracking and big huge portal ad innovation.

With so much information on the Web, how do you stay organized online?

Above all else, entertaining gameplay. Depending upon the genre, here are some general criteria: solid GUI, breathtaking graphics, amazing frame rate, solid rendering, great soundtrack, attention to detail by the developers and innovation.

• Call of Duty
• Gears of War
• Madden 09
• SSX Tricky
• ....and Guitar Hero
