  Yeah, I thought of you as soon as I heard about the Manny trade. Sorry about that. The craziest thing about it is that he’s with Joe Torre and Don Mattingly now!

  Anyway, I use Myspace and Facebook most of all. I don’t really use the other ones you mentioned, although I might look into Twittering sometime soon - a bunch of my friends are.

  Can’t wait to see the new video!

• 2. Andy T  |  August 21st, 2008 at 8:03 am

  Facebook seems the first and best step these days sir rusty

  then followed by twitter and myspace in 2nd

  cant wait for the new sounds!

• 3. Rebecca  |  August 21st, 2008 at 10:00 am

  I use Facebook the most. And some myspace.

  I can’t wait to hear some of Cantarell and see the video

• 4. Susan  |  August 21st, 2008 at 11:12 am

  Myspace, but I guess I’d use Facebook a lot too, once I got to actually registering for that one…
  As everyone seemed to have a can’t wait here…

  I can’t wait for the contest!!!
  and the video
  and the new sound

• 5. Faith  |  August 21st, 2008 at 11:35 am

  Yep I’d say facebook too, it’s prob the only one that I regularly log onto nowadays. Since you’re such a geek I wonder if you’ve actually check out the xkcd comics online? Maybe the geekiness AND math fix would make you a little happier. xx

• 6. jacob  |  August 21st, 2008 at 9:26 pm

  hey abr, tell me where to send the shirts and i will send.

  i use delicious constantly for my own personal bookmark stuff– it makes a feed you can subscribe to, and it integrates well into an existing blog. although maybe more people would see a link if you facebook shared it.

• 7. Nance  |  August 22nd, 2008 at 12:08 am

  Don’t worry, dear Andy, I’m sure we’ll all continuously pester you about writing more blogs, but for now, I demand to see that new website design you mentioned to me. Chop-chop! There’s no time to spare!

  And I probably use facebook the most… and sometimes myspace.

• 8. katy  |  August 22nd, 2008 at 8:24 am

  It seems like Digg and delicious are used the most. Technorati seems to be somewhat popular as well. I see some StumbleUpon links, too. Facebook is still a reigning social networking site, but not so much for the sharing. Unless I just have lame friends who don’t want to share anything.

  Here’s some arbitrary list of the “top 30 social bookmarking sites” : http://www.ebizmba.com/articles/social30

• 9. fc  |  August 22nd, 2008 at 12:39 pm

  certainly facebook, we’ve even got a secret dakota ring appreciation group for you down there maybe you can check out and contact the owner. just do a search — that can’t puzzle the in-house geek

• 10. fc  |  August 22nd, 2008 at 12:42 pm

  oh andy, btw, it seems that your comment form doesn’t work with firefox (v2)! whatever i try to post with this browser gets zapped and i have to copy everything over to IE (dread). do fix it, please!

• 11. Krissy  |  August 25th, 2008 at 9:30 pm

  I use StumbleUpon. I thumbs-upped one of your pages, but I have no idea if it’s gotten you any traffic or not. (Because the StumbleUpon algorithm is like a hipster — rewarding you for liking things no one else has ever heard of, and unfortunately I may have clicked “I like it!” on a few too many lolcat pages.)

• 12. Peace  |  August 26th, 2008 at 7:28 am

  facebook definitely, can’t wait for your contest

• 13. Yukie  |  August 27th, 2008 at 6:15 am

  Myspace,…. but I hardly use it.

  Anyway,I’m looking forward to your new album.

• 14. Becky  |  August 27th, 2008 at 10:37 am

  You have just made me very happy! A video from Cantarell, an MP3 from Cantarell and the DNLBATW contest happening soon!! Rock.

  Sorry I have nothing to offer on the social sharing thingie. Apparently I’m not good at sharing or something.

  One more thing, how about them Cubs? #1 in the Majors! Satan called. He wondered if you knew of any good deals on space heaters, a hoodie might not be enough.

• 15. aross  |  August 27th, 2008 at 11:34 pm

  Thank you all for your help! This is awesome. jpb, those t-shirts look amazing! It definitely seems like Facebook (good) and Myspace (bad - they don’t really have any social sharing tools or an API) are the big winners, which is to be expected.

  fc, thanks for the heads up on FF2, though, you should get FF3, because, that’s why they made it, right?

  Well said Becky, though I’m fairly confident that hell is safe from the effects of global warming as long as a certain New England team is in the mix. That “B” is definitely for Boston.

• 16. Rachel  |  August 28th, 2008 at 12:35 pm

  Even after today’s win, I will have to concede that the B is most likely for Boston. It sure as hell ain’t for “Bronx”. It feels more like 1988 than 2008 this year…

• 17. Bridget  |  August 31st, 2008 at 7:23 am

  Hurry up…please!

• 18. Rosa  |  August 31st, 2008 at 8:55 am

  You need our harassment?…interesting…

  (note to self: fill up water ballons, practice butt-pinching skills, look up filthy vocab. in urbandictionary.com, call the church of scientology, buy spray paint, two yards of spandex, chloroform & some rope (treadmill optional); suggest an article related to Cantarell/SDR to The Onion, think of an evil master plan to relate previous items on this list).

• 19. Tracy  |  August 31st, 2008 at 11:28 pm

  Facebook definitely! Is it just me, or does fish taco sound dirty to anyone else? Meh.

• 20. Rosa  |  September 1st, 2008 at 10:41 am

  It depends, are we speaking “dirty” in a sexy manner?

• 21. Tracy  |  September 1st, 2008 at 4:18 pm

  Is there any other worth giggling about??? lol

• 22. Becky  |  September 2nd, 2008 at 7:17 pm

  I guess we’ll just have to wait till October to find out who’s the better team. You should give a listen to “Go Cubs Go” by Steve Goodman, it’s pretty catchy. And hey, isn’t Cantarell rumored to be released right around then?

  Since you asked your readers to bug you relentlessly (not your words exactly), I must point out the date. Today is September 2nd. You’re clearly deeply entrenched in baseball and being famous and haven’t been able to sit at your compy/lappy to blog or post that MP3. I for one would really like to hear that MP3, find out about the contest and read whatever it is you’re wanting to blog about.

  So, Mr. “I heart the Red Sox” Ross, will you post, reveal or blog this week?

• 23. Rachel  |  September 3rd, 2008 at 8:45 pm

  I’m going to echo Becky’s sentiment, especially in light of the bulletin posted by the Ser Biz Myspace this evening. What gives, ARoss? Do we get an MP3 soon?

• 24. fc  |  September 4th, 2008 at 12:15 am

  hey andy! some nagging - yes, it is about time to do another update! and i did 2 mosaics of urm, you, with pictures of you. (it is starting to sound a little freaky, but it is looks kind of cool and artistic). i’ve posted it on the ok go board, so please check it out there! may i present to you 2 portraits of yourself, in all its fancypants glory:

  thanks, technology

• 25. Rosa  |  September 4th, 2008 at 11:23 am

  uh oh, a link to “Andy, pictures of Andy “rusty” Ross” at the OK Go forum… hahahahah… I can just hear the frantic shrieks of the boardies now.

  I think I’ll claim temporary insanity if anything is found against me.

  (damn, I knew I should have chosen a different nickname…damn)

• 26. fc  |  September 6th, 2008 at 7:45 am

  oh the thread! oooops, rosa, ooops. now let’s keep our rusty perving hush-hush.

• 27. Rosa  |  September 6th, 2008 at 8:18 am

  I think it’s too late for that lol
