My humble suggestions for baby steps on the internet.

  1. Buy anything on Amazon.
  2. Google yourself.  Set up a Google alert.
  3. Buy something on eBay or Etsy.  You’ll probably have to set up a Paypal account.
  4. Subscribe to a podcast on iTunes.  Download iTunes, register, search, subscribe.
  5. Find an online community about some topic – register there and post in an “I’m new” thread.
  6. Find a blog about a personal interest/hobby you have.
  7. Click on stuff – you won’t break the interwebz.
