Here's a list of the communication, Web 2.0 and social networking sites and tools that I've come to love the most over 2008. The list is by no means exclusive, but these are the ones I've had the most experience with, and wouldn't ever want missing in my online life.

For quite some time now, I've been using a service called Geni to keep track of my family tree. Actually, I've been able to get a couple of other relatives on there to also manage it. Unfortunately, things come to an end only three generations above me. It'd be nice to have more of my living family on there, but I'm even more curious about my ancestors from Ireland, Wales, Germany, and Ukraine.
