I agree with everything you said about Twitter -- it is about what you can add to the conversation. Heard the promo for 'Viga the Otagal' was interested, couldn't find it. You have it listed as 'Vita' the Otagal in the show notes. Here's the link: http://vigatheotagal.blogspot.com/ Great show.

Madden Thu, 13 Nov 2008 15:28:48 +0000 http://www.teemorris.com/blog/?p=67#comment-472 Thank you, thank you, thank you. I have been drowning in Yahoo groups the last month or two, along with other social media junk, and after listening to this episode, I've made the decision to cut a lot of it down. I generally can't stand the Yahoo groups because for erotica/romance writers they're usually just dumping grounds for excerpts, promos and contests, no actual real conversation going on. Instead, I'm going to go back to the things I know I enjoy - reading and commenting on other writer's blogs, keeping up my podcast, and investing more time in my web comic. I know those things get me more visitors to my website, plus I enjoy doing them. I never signed up for Face Book or MySpace, and after listening to what you had to say about it, I don't think I will. I'll probably also avoid Shelfari, Good Reads, and other groups like that. I'm a work-at-home mom, so I've got to be realistic about what I can afford to spend time on. I'd rather spend my promo time on stuff I enjoy rather than waste it on things that drive me crazy. Thank you, Tee! Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Yes, I said "Perspective", Future Dark Overloaded Idea of Self-Worth, because at least YOU have the swagger and the moxie -- not to mention the credibility -- to be a complete and utter tewrp, but you choose the higher ground. Soldier, I appreciate that. It tells me that even you, you worthless piece of amphibious poo, still manage to remain humble even within your success. NOW DROP AND GIVE ME TWENTY, OR SO HELP ME I WILL RIP OFF YOUR HEAD AND USE IT AS AN ASH TRAY FOR MY CIGARS!!!! (You rock, Siggy!) Oh lookie here….WE HAVE A COMEDIAN IN OUR MIDST…

I admit, it makes me feel loved. It's only when I get twenty of these "Li'l Green Patches" I get punchy. Add to that when I do accept the "application" I would think "Once is enough..." Oh no...at least with my Facebook, I have to go through the acceptance process EVERY TIME. Some of these apps launch OTHER apps, I've noticed, and then I can't get out of the process. I'll admit -- either I'm doing it wrong or these apps are just a timesink. So until I get a better grasp of what these apps are and how they work, I'm just having to ignore them. No, I'm not upset with my friends/followers on Facebook. It's just the way these apps you get behave that annoy me. Now, now now…that wasn’t my point. ;)

I was only trying to get points, not really caring who if anyone accepted since for some apps just the sending got me points, and I didn't stop to think about how annoying it must've been.
