I was an early adopter of all kinds of social media (I'll include email here), but I didn't really *use* any of it (besides email) until my friends and I entered a diaspora. I've appreciated how Facebook, Flickr, and email have allowed me to stay relatively close without having to be in Chicago, Ann Arbor, DC, where ever. My BlackBerry's the only phone I've kept longer than 12 months, in part because it's the first to really help me stay connected without having to actually talk on it. I still sign up for just about every social media outlet, but like you, I'm only loyal to those that meet my needs. Surprisingly, I think Flickr's been the most successful on that front.
