social media
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
- the daily list of the holidays that are celebrated on that day that I get from http://www.brownielocks.com/month2.html
- 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.....
