Twitter - Page 34

Geez, I can hardly maintain my Facebook and MySpace pages. In fact, both are sadly neglected. Linked In? I don't even remember how to log in. My LJ has been abandoned entirely. I can't even imagine starting with Twitter.

Two days ago I was distressed to have been tracked down on Facebook by someone from the dark past, who should not have even known the name I use there. I know I don't have to confirm the request, but the personal message begs a response of some kind.

I went ahead and linked Twitter with FB. Like everyone, I got cautious when I started friending more distant acquaintances. So I disconnected the Twitter updates. 2 days later, I was too annoyed by not having it cross posting that I decided it's easier just to be careful what I say on Twitter or start private stuff with an @something so it doesn't cross post. So I reconnected the updates.

The nice thing is, Twitter pulls up easier on my phone (I use the web app on my phone, rather than the text app), so I can update FB quickly and easily. I enjoy the fact that on FB you can get responses.

I'm so much of a luddite, I rarely change status on Twitter as I find it cumbersome on the web and my phone is not on often enough to update. I'm a textOphobe, I would need a new phone to text like a normal human being. iPhone is what I want, but not in the budget right now. So for now Facebook works and I've reconnected with some great people from my past, so it's been useful. LinkdIn has not done much for me, if I end up being axed in a layoff, it might be useful then since most of my contacts there are business variety.

I've become quite the fan of Oversoul. No more tedious typing because with the painless insertion of sub-cranial implants, I can hear what everyone in my network is thinking as soon as they think it.

As to Facebook, I think I've got it pretty well locked down, and I have no plans to post anything particularly personal.

No Facebook
No Live Journal
No My Space
No Oversoul
Don't update Twitter that often

Just the trusty ol' LoT. If it isn't posted here, I pretty much don't know it is happening.

I've been a bit cautious with Facebook, though I like the format. I like that I can actually find replies. I'm not entirely too sure that I like it being linked to my real name, and so far I haven't said too much to cause waves. That may change, though several people I've linked to there are... shall we say, not used to me lately? They've seen only the reasonably safe side.

Twitter... safe, got a lot of you on it, but I don't like the format at all.

Myspace- loathe it. I log in once in a while but I don't stay. I made a go of it but I don't like it.

Live journal... gets updated. Generally pretty safe and I like it. Tend to post random ramblings here; anything juicy is likely to go here first. Then to Facebook, most likely, or LoT.

Okay, I've had a FB account for 2 years and never did anything with it. Today I moved into the latter half of the decade. If anyone wants to find me, my last name is Withers.

Not good enough, unless you haven't graduated high school yet. (eg: I can't find ya)

The iphone has definitely made a difference in which apps I use and how I use them. Twitter & BiteKite rank 1st. I'll read Facebook & MySpace feeds, but usually won't do anything beyond change a status. Live Journal has suffered the most without a quality text editor that can cut and paste - I may need to get a netbook for that.
