There are many services that you could include in your learnstream. Here are some of the basic services to consider for your learnstream. I listed a couple of options for most services (my primary is listed 1st)).
Note: Try selecting a consistent name across services, if possible. You can check your username for many social services at once by using name.chk or knowem.
