Online I seem to fall into the same patterns -- I either become that person who shares link after link of items that have peaked my interest in hopes that it will peak someone else's or I fall silent. This has held true since I first became active online and the venue doesn't seem to matter whether or not it is in a gated online community such as Brainstorms [http://www.rheingold.com/community.html if you are interested] or a social media site like Twitter [I am @CarolHTucker], Pinterest, Ello, G+, or Facebook. In Brainstorms, Ello and G+ I am all but non-present, at the most I lurk and read. On Twitter [87 followrs] and Pinterest [239 followers] I am fairly active and post almost daily, and what is posted there goes automatically to my Facebook [459 friends] timeline. I should point out that many of those followers and friends are duplicates, people who have connected with me in more than on venue [because they are glutons for punishm.... I mean because they really like me], so my actual social media footprint actually isn't that impressive.
Let's look at what kinds of things I put out online by taking a look at yesterday, Friday April 24th
getting a Bitcoin mining server for almost $500 and a hat tip to The Worst Things for Sale blog for finding that item
a comment about finding a blog post of mine from 04.24.2011 [courtesy of the "on this day" feature of Facebook], realizing that the picture I used in the post -- because the only way to post pictures on this blogger platform is by linking to an url where it has already been posted -- was now missing. I asked how many people go back and scrub their blogs?
a comment that you know it is Friday when you don't have to set your alarm for tomorrow
three posts about the 25th anniversary of the HUBBLE telescope -- one connecting to their interactive webiste at http://hubble25th.org/ , one referencing the story behind the project, and one with my blog post
an article about fracking and injecting wastewater causing earth tremors
the National Raisin Reserve that the US government maintains [who knew?]
Diablo III is launching in China
Steam is opening a market so that users can sell mods to game platforms, starting with Skyrim
The melting of the last snowbank hereabouts
why the paperless office hasn't happened
The moving of more of the Enchanted Forest
DC's #1 import is medicine -- well we need something to take when all these politicians drive us bonkers, neh?
Native actors refusing to work on a movie where they feel their names are degrading
a Bitcoin company filing to become a bank with a question -- if Bitcoin is "property" as the IRS has ruled, then what will the new bank use for capital and currency?
pictures of a cartoon that amused me, a Genie Plush Bear that I would like, of my 2nd Life, and of earthquake zones in the US
A couple items were favorited in Twitter, two likes in Pinterest and a couple in Facebook. One discussion about WASD VS mouse navigation in games on Facebook. One rather cool discussion on the Hubble post and I found out that one guy I knew actually worked on it and another friend's parents were both involved
So I don't blog that often, but I am "out there". Is that an effective way to manage an online identity? Good question.....
