I tried before<\/a> but now I’m pretty much made up my mind. Especially after reading this article<\/a>. I’ve decided that I get enough ads directed at me through unpaid subscriptions to online\/real world endeavours. Hell just visiting any Google enhanced free web page and I get Toronto\/Gay\/Gamer\/robot centric ads yelling at me for attention. You’ll notice I’ve removed the Sociable widget\/toolbar at the bottom. <\/p>\n

Look, I love internet trends and memes. They make me happy and make me feel like I’m on the bleeding edge of cool. I tried FB and with limited success I witnessed a page view spike over here on DR.com when I vented my posts over to my Wall. I’ve come in contact with some missing friends and made a couple new ones too. Win\/win! But there comes a time when juggling three digital online presences gets a bit much (four if you count Flickr, but who likes a silent mime in the social world, eh?). Between Twitter, FB and this site I manage to cross pollinate each with a singe touch of a button, but in the end, most of my readers get hit with three similar announcements about one upload. Because I don’t want to spam my readers and friends and I prefer to write and create rather than regurgitate I’ve chosen to drop the least creative outlet – Facebook. Twitter and this Blog win out, I’m afraid. And Twitter ain’t all that attractive too – I think it promotes poor grammar\/spelling but I can’t deny it’s compelling immediacy. <\/p>\n

In the end it comes down to redundancy, really. I’m tired of trying to keep up with all the social and just want to focus on the me<\/em> for now. I hope you stay and read on (You can RSS feed the home page easy in Firefox\/Google Reader) and ultimately keep on being digital. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
