Do you use Technorati? Stumble Upon? Entrecard? Blog Catalog?

I'm relatively new to technorati and sadly don't have many friends there! I am reading though your technorati rating has a lot to do with your payperpost earnings and pagerank so I'd like to try to build it up. My main blog is showing the wrong description & ancient site design - they have not been too helpful or fast about fixing it either! At any rate though I think it may be worthwhile to have a few more favorites there.
Stumble Upon has also been very sucessful for me in getting traffic. I have not really made many friends from it, but it did send my one site 250 hits in one day!
Another site I use a lot is entrecard which brings me about 50-200 unique visitors a day (depends if I did any advertising with the credits or not.) I've made some great blog friends through entrecard.
And lastly I have used Blog Catalog a good bit and again have met some really great blog friends that way!
Anyways, while I try to increase the traffic to my site I thought I would see if any of my mylotter friends belonged to any of these sites or used them and would want to help each other out by "favorite-ing", "stumbling", "dropping", or "joining neighborhoods."
What are your opinions on these sites? Are there any you prefer over others? Have they been successful for you? Are there other sites you reccommend joining?

With stumble upon you just have to use the toolbar and vote for one of your posts - if it's a good post that intrigues people they'll come see it. It also helps to make friends on there! there are lots of articles on this - here's a good one to get you started:

Good timing as I just finished my fourth PPP assignment, and have finally reached a comfort level with the process. I still have to look into entrecard, but I have belonged to StumbleUpon for several years now. I love it and highly recommend it to anyone interested in clean, safe, and interesting surfing. I have also made some good cyber friends there, the kind who are smart and nurturing.
Let's be Technorati friends for sure!
Apparently I signed up for Technorati a couple years ago, but never got around to check it out. So, after starting this reply, I went over and added my blogs and a few favorites, but WOW there is so much to learn. I wish outfits like that would not try to publish so much personal information. I don't know where they pull it all in from, but my name was spelled wrong, so it wasn't me. Grrrr.
What a lot of stuff to learn. Thanks for another heads up!

technorati so far isn't impressing me since they've yet to update my blog or fix their error or even acknowledge the problem! I'm on message #3 to them!
I really like entrecard though some call it "controversial" - a lot of good blog support from the other ppl there!
Thanks for finding me on stumble upon - let me know when you get technorati sorted out!
