i talk to plants. and monitors.
oh poor sweet tribe...
Thu, February 12, 2009 - 12:58 PMi hate facebook, but at least it saves me a lot of time since i don't fart around on it nearly as much as i did here.
anyway - in case you're wondering where i've been and where i be, and somehow missed it - above this block is an RSS feed for my blog, Squeezing Time, and whenever i post a new entry there (www.squeezingtime.com) it will appear here. or you can just go there cuz i'm not really using my tribe blog anymore due to its lack of features...
i still love you.

Major lack of features on tribe, but it IS my safe place. =)
I'll read you where ever you go. xoxo |

tribe blogs were the death of tribes, but i log in here first. go figure. facebook rubs me wrong. i'm struggling with the entire notion of a web presence these days. i have a lot of ambivalence about maintaining it in any meaningful way. the world can be a vampire, and my attentions lay closer to the hearth.
thanks for the update and linky! |

i have come to like FB much more than tribe. more people there, and i keep it to people i really know (you are the one exception). it's great to stay in touch with people you met once in your life but who now live on the other side of the planet. the phototagging is awesome as well.
i stay away from the silly games, though. |

well said, warpup.
it's interesting how things have changed for me since i deleted both my tribe and facebook accounts. i missed the tribe one more, obviously, but i have a nagging feeling that i'm missing a lot of inside jokes every time i socialize with anyone. i feel forever "out of the loop". but facebook creeps me out... be careful of what you post there, as they have the rights to keep EVERYTHING you put up. it's in the tou that you agreed to; check the fine print. my account is not actually deleted. everything is saved by facebook just as i left it just in case i decide to come back... which i do wrestle with, as i do feel cut off... but the phototagging and cross-referencing kind of alarms me, actually. there's a lot of my past that i chose to walk away from to save myself. i don't like the fact that people from 30 years ago can post photos of me that pop up in my current profile. facebook is now being used routinely by the police, debt collectors, lawyers, employers, insurance agencies, and the like, so make sure your life is in order before you display it up there. it's been ruled by the courts again and again as a viable source for private information... i just don't like that, at all. i don't ever want my mother to find me again. everything there just feels too contrived to me, too impersonal.... and as i have been struggling with my depression and how to present myself to the world, i decided ultimately that my online personas were not serving me. i've been trying to figure out exactly what to do with this one, but i have lost so many contacts to time and facebook that it doesn't seem to matter much anyway. these days i am just concentrating mostly on real life. the connections i have there feed me a lot more than facebook (or tribe for that matter) ever will. please feel free to call me anytime. xoxo b |

Yeah
Face book sucks. I keep hoping Google will buy tribe and it won't suck anymore. I mean I have found it to be the coolest networking site... when it's working.

This is still the only format I actually understand. Easy graphics. Plenty of room for words. It seems so obvious.
I joined Facebook but I don't feel rooted in it the way I did here. Pfflll. But this is definitely dying. |
