Where do you fit?

I am a connector, according to the Pew Internet and American Life project survey. (Via Howard Owens.)

The Connectors' collection of information technology is used for a mix of one-to-one and one-to-many communication. They very much like how ICTs keep them in touch with family and friends and they like how ICTs let them work in community groups to which they belong. They are participants in cyberspace -- many blog or have their own web pages -- but not at the rate of Omnivores. They are not as sure-footed in their dealings with ICTs as Omnivores. Connectors suspect their gadgets could do more for them, and some need help in getting new technology to function properly.

I'd not have described myself that way; connectors seem way more advanced than I am. (I'm pleased to skew the age median, which is a frisky 38.)

You try.
