I know that officially it's still not spring in New Mexico, but it sure feels like it is. With that in mind, I'm going to give the social network thing a try once again in 2009. I got my friendfeed all set up, Twitter wrangled, and my blog(s) in order.
It's been an interesting journey. I must have tried every social networking doodad and thingamajig out there over the last few years. But the thing is.... I hate people. OK, maybe hate isn't the right word. I...... eschew people. Machines are my friends.
I know, that makes me sound like a member of the Borg. But ask anyone off the very short list of people who get to know me and they'll tell you I'm not all Mr. Spock. It's just a lot of effort for me to connect to another human. I often wonder why. I wasn't isolated growing up, I have no obvious brain chemistry issues, there's no history of abuse or trama - I suppose I'm just misanthropic by nature.
Well, no more! I'm not re-activating my Facebook account, but I will play with all these other things and make some more cyberfriends. If nothing else, it will keep me entertained to try.
