I read SA daily but don't necessarily post of blog daily or even weekly.
I also belong to a site for American expats in a certain country that I am interested in.

This is the only one i check in on nearly every weekday.

There are a variety of others, perhaps a half dozen, that i browse from time to time, but i dont' participate nearly as much as i do here and i dont' feel i 'know' the people there like i do here.

Thumbs up So much info, so little time...

Hmmm, I have a lot of newsletters sent to my email during the week, mostly those with a frugal theme. I think it's Frugal for Life that I find most interesting, then Savings Advice. I'm into gardening and cooking right now, so I check them often (I get a lot from about.com). I have health/fitness stuff sent to my email also. I don't post all that often to any of them.

What I find most valuable is Paltalk almost nightly for an on-line bible class my pastors hold from 7-8 p.m. EST - Discerning the Times or the MidActs Dispensationalism room. We have Q&A afterword so these rooms aren't chaotic, it's truly like a classroom, it's solid teaching, and the troublemakers get kicked out immediately. There's so much junk in the chat rooms; these two are great.

Probably 7 or 8... I have a newsgroup folder and scroll each when I get bored. Mostly financial, a few soccer, and few fantasy football.

I'm actually homeless with lots of shelters, LOL.

I don't check this daily, just a few times a week.
I do check a local one in my city (same software as this site, it's surreal) daily.

I'm also on the Kiplinger Community one but it's really dead so I hardly ever go there.

Also on Freecycle and a couple small parenting ones.

Also on MySpace and Friendster altho I hardly ever go there.

Mostly I divide my online social time between the local city one, here, and the PF blogging community.

Besides this forum, I belong to a purse forum. I also frequent a fashion forum but do not belong to it because it is invitation only and a religious forum.

I used to belong to a few jewelry making/hobby forums but due to lack of time I stopped jewelry making.

I'm a regular on several online forums. They are, in order of my participation level:

US Marriage-Based Immigration Visas forum
(since 2002)
USA forum on BritishExpats.com (since 2002)
Immigration forum on LYC.com (since 2002)
SavingAdvice.com forums (since 2005)
YNAB.com forums (since 2007)
Weight Watchers forums (since 2007)

As I work at a university, I'm also on Facebook, although not actively.

I met my husband online back in 2002. He's from the UK, hence all the immigration forum participation.

I am only on two forums, this one and a local one called blairsville.com. I like this one the most because everyone is so friendly. There are a few not so nice people on the other forum. I hate it when they follow me here and try to start trouble. (they resent when I talk about money, guess why?)

I am a member of only one forum (SavingAdvice), although I do enjoy visiting some of the favorites that the bloggers list that they like. I like that feature of the blogs because I have never heard of some of the sites that have been listed.
