“It was the last thing I needed and the only thing I wanted.”
Boy, Josh, you really made me chuckle with this little phrase. I smiled when I realised that you had neatly summed up most of my technology affliction. Good post by the way

I keep going on purges for my social networking sites. Every now and then I go through facebook & twitter (especially twitter) and get rid of the people I’m “following” that I don’t really “follow.”

I do like to keep up with people from college though and I think facebook is a pretty good way to do that.

Josh
Check out my pictures from time to time if you like.
Not much to show yet though.
I forged blades for years but gave it all up to build a house.

Now starting all over again. It is recreation of a Japanese Kagi-Ba (sword forge)

Thanks, it was awhile back (during university) so hopefully the work that I lost wasn’t worth much to begin with. And a lot of it was self-indulgent anyway. So maybe Myspace just did me a favor and saved me from major embarrassment down the road.

Anyway, it was part of one of the most valuable lessons I’ve ever learned as a writer: Back it up, back it up, and if you still aren’t sure, for God’s sake back it up again.

I know you do, and you’re a perfect example of how they should be used. You are also one person I met through social networking that usually has something interesting to say that I would hate to miss out on.

Srinivas, I’ve more or less quit marketing on FB and Twitter. My traffic has grown, not decreased.

I’m separating the desire to connect from the compulsion. For me, compulsion is “Why am I thinking about logging in when I know I don’t want to?” “Why am i starting to think in FB updates?”

Hey Dallas! How are you? I heard from your sister not too long ago:) You’re wrong: your dish-washing activities are thrilling to me. That’s the only reason I ever went to FB.
