I've been wasting waaaaaay too much time on MySpace and FaceBook. I must stay focused if I'm gonna knock this one out by November 1st.
OK, I tried an experiment between the MySpace and FaceBook accounts. With the MySpace, I kept it totally "minimalist"; nothing fancy, didn't actively seek out friends or contacts, no applications, nothing. With FaceBook I went nuts and sought out "friends" made the announcement to everyone that I had a page, tricked out the page, accepted anyone and everyone who wanted to be "friends", revealed all my gory details, etc.
I tried to convince myself that this was some gonna be some kinda significant sociological experiment but it turns out it was me just jackin' around. I did find that almost everyone who asks to be a "friend" (either in FaceBook or MySpace) has a tendency to be pretty creepy (except you GingerDnD, you're the best, baby!!!).
I didn't set up my LinkedIn account yet, but I did take the tour and am totally sold on it. Sorry Plaxo, this is as social as I'm gonna get.
I liked doing this thing and can see the value in socializing in this kind of environment. It's easy to set up an account, it's easy to make "friends", you can network with people with similar interests and backgrounds. I know people use these things as their primary way of staying in contact with friends and family and maybe, if I get in the habit of checking these everyday, I might become more "dependent" on it. Maybe not. Actually, probably not. I just don't have the time or inclination to keep up with this.
Sorry Ginger DnD, as much as it might hurt, I gotta be honest with you on this girl.
