Geek Addict: Blogging and Forums
May 19, 2008
Beware of the trap of being addicted to social feedings.
You can’t have enough information of other people’s lives.
I can’t believe I can say I read way to much on people daily lives. twitter and rss feeds are addictive. Here I said it! the 12 step program, Do you really thing I was going to give you guys a 12 step program for IT addicts? Sure I am not. I belong to about 13 forums and I read about 17 blogs daily. It is like a inlet for me because sometimes I have an introverted part of me, just like I have an outrovertiness about myself. Do you know what I am trying to say? I mean that I don’t talk to people sometimes, and I like that. Don’t get me wrong but I do like talking to people about a lot of things. Why do I read a blog and read a forum post? Well, persay maybe its a way for me to have a conversion with a person without the body language or the fear of rejection of my disability. When I read blogs I know that that person via they way they type or what the topic was. So, I really talk with the person daily, I at least comment on thier blog post, is that enough? A forum is a little different, there is multiple people talking about someone’s thought or feeling about a situation! What do you guys think about types of ways to communicate, we all know about email, but what other things, like Facebook, myspace, or any bother SN (Social networks). What do you guy think about a universal Network? like Create a bridge of all SN’s into one pot?
