Cyberspace Presence

All these social networking/blogging sites is getting me crazy -- google pages, yahoo 360, multiply, facebook, friendster, twitter, plurk, flickr, blogger ... have another 'er'?!

Err anyway, it's time to get a little organized. I'll have to choose at most 4 to maintain or I'm afraid I will not be able to maintain them at all like what is happening right now. Unless anyone here in the cyberspace knows a place where every social/blogging site is mashed up :) (Note: Maybe someone should create something like that!)

Image Sharing:
I choose Flickr since I already have a Pro account there. But that would be purely for my photography works. All the rest will be placed in Facebook. So that means I will eventually stop updating Multiply. I just hope facebook improves its photo organization so that it would be more useful and easier to navigate. Which also means that...

Social Networking:
I will be using Facebook. So goodbye friendster, you have been a good friend for the past years. I think almost all my contacts in friendster already have a facebook account so letting go of it will not have a great impact.

Blogging:
I'd really would have loved it if my blogs were also in facebook as notes but it being a social networking site limits my audience to only my network. So, obviously I'll be using Blogger.

As for micro-blogging, it will still be facebook. You will see me still updating plurk and or twitter mostly via ping.fm but it will be only just for fun. Don't get me wrong I like twitter and plurk but unless they find a way to let me only get updates to micro-blogs that interests me and a way to organize these entries, I wouldn't take them seriously. Going through all hundreds of micro-blogs that I missed every morning is not exactly my cup of coffee.

So there it is. I just wanted to post my thoughts. Hopefully I can finally take some time to blog again even though I don't have a firm topic area yet. Enjoy the rest of the week everyone!
