No, I didn’t watch the original show.
I’m writing because I haven’t in a while. I’m past the whole phone debate. I went with an iPhone and an OtterBox case (highly recommended).
I’m wondering about the changing roles of blogs in the world of Facebook. Myspace was the popular item the last time I was really active in blogging, and I viewed blogs as a substitute for it. I think myspace failed because it tried to do everything, and did it poorly.
The more I use facebook, the more I think it’s best use is as a very thin social glue or framework. It’s certainly good for passing small amounts of information or photos around, but I find that other, dedicated tools do a better job. This is not against facebook. I’m by no means a facebook pro, nor do I necessarily desire to be. I am, however interested in its use as a social tool.
Meanwhile, outside of my home, winter is passing. The snow that’s been frozen all over chicago is now starting to melt, and my walk to work is almost enjoyable. And by the by, a walk is much better with either company, or music. I’d like to combine those, but I don’t think that the level of technology i’m looking for will be available for at least another 5-10 years.
