Never ending account acquisition and maintenance

Spent a good portion of the morning signing up for more web services, experimenting, tweaking settings, uploading profiles.

TweetDeck won't talk to LinkedIn today. That TweetDeck is an installed app goes against the grain. It's the old problem: install it everywhere you go; spend 20 minutes configuring it and an additional 20 throughout the day (never remember all the settings); and it still doesn't work the same.

Signed up for Microsoft's SkyDrive  http://cid-1df4ee76f1667891.skydrive.live.com/home.aspx. This service is part of Windows Live. Created a new Windows Live account for r-----@l---.com already had on for s----@l----. 25 GB free. Not bad.

IDrive: for Mac only, $4.95 per month. Backup/synchronizing service. Not just storage.

I've heard good things about DropBox. It's a download/install. Oh well. 2 GB free, 50 $10/mo, 100 20/mo. The Dropbox folder is synchronized to the server. Out-of-the-box it creates a 'Public' folder.
