Twitter Break 2012

February 25, 2012

I’ve been noticing a change in my Twitter habits lately.  I’ve become a little disenchanted with Twitter, and I can’t really pinpoint why.  I don’t know if it’s turned into a clique of sorts, or what the problem is for me… but I just haven’t found it as enjoyable as I once did. So I’m [...]

UPDATE Oct 18:  I’ve been told that this fix no longer works.  Facebook has apparently changed things again.  Need I mention how much I dislike Facebook again? Still using Facebook to stay in contact with all your friends?  Sorry to hear that.  There’s a better option out there (Google+) but I’ll save that lesson for [...]

Star Tours – Darth Vader Goes to Disneyland

August 10, 2011

I saw this posted recently on Google+  (you know… the other social media network that you should be using) and loved it so much that I tweeted (yes, yet another social network that is better than what you’re probably using) it… but to those people who are stuck in the Facebook era… assuming that you [...]

Social Network Showdown: MySpace, Facebook, Google+

July 13, 2011

Somehow I completely missed the announcement that Justin Timberlake had purchased a majority stake in MySpace, the all but forgotten social network of yesteryear.  I guess that I must have been more interested in planning my Canada Day weekend, because I was shocked to find out that news very recently.  So shocked that I wasn’t [...]

Twitter has this little feature on their website that recommends random people to you, based on some magical guess at who you might be interested in following.  I’m sure that it’s a Facebook-like thing, because it’s quite annoying, but there doesn’t seem to be a way of shutting it off, so I’ve gotten used to [...]

Facebooks vs Twitter: Which One is Better?

December 5, 2010

I’ve discovered something about what I would consider to be the two most popular social networks, Facebook and Twitter.  People tend to be a fan of one, or the other.  Rarely both.  Some of my best friends are on Facebook, and have no desire whatsoever to use Twitter.  Everything they post is on Facebook, and if [...]

Yes, Indeed… I am Back on Facebook…

September 30, 2010

It wasn’t intentional.  Someone sent me a link that took me to Facebook, and I had to authenticate my account.  I didn’t realize that it would turn everything back on.  I just figured that it would let me look at whatever it was that was sent to me, and that would be it.  (Sadly, I [...]
