unless we grow and strengthen our communication
I have been badmouthing Twitter and Tumblr for AGES, y'all. I laughed at people who used either of those networks, bragged about how I wouldn't touch either of them with a 10-foot internet tube, and was so perplexed as to why anyone would care about tweeting or tumbling.
My, this crow sure is tasty. *noms*
I am now pipsqueaky on Twitter, and pipsqueaky on Tumblr, for those of you who care, heh. (And I'm sorry for laughing at you?) I'm not moving away from LJ/DW, just branching out. Besides, I hardly ever post here anyway so it's not like anyone will be able to tell the difference, LOL.
On a semi-related note, I am also trying to decide what to do with this blog. I've gotten the occasional urge to post - not necessarily here, just somewhere online - about (a) technical, software-development stuff and (b) politics (feminism, atheism, etc.). This audience is primarily fannish, though, so I've resisted putting those thoughts here. I haven't figured out if I want separate blogs for separate purposes, which seems like WAY too much maintenance for someone as lazy as me; or if I want to throw everything on LJ/DW, advertise this blog to other friends and coworkers, and just tag everything really well so people can filter out what they don't care about. I don't particularly care about hiding any aspects of my life from anyone I know ... though TBH I would almost certainly be more wary of mentioning anything related to porn in this space. :D And plenty of coworkers have already followed me on Twitter, so they know I go by "pipsqueaky"; I haven't exactly made my online presence difficult to track! Anyway. I'll figure it out eventually. If any of you have thoughts/experiences in this realm, I'd love to hear them!
And just for fun -
How I finally joined Twitter: I went to VVC and people were posting to the #vividcon hashtag, and once I started checking it I couldn't stop. It was even better than reading post-con con reports! It was LIVE! And once I posted to it too, I was hooked.
How I finally joined Tumblr: All my Tumblr-loving friends kept showing me their own Tumblrs, filled with their own particular obsessions, saying "look at all the pretty pictures!" and it did absolutely nothing for me. I did NOT get the appeal. Then I decided to randomly surf through Tumblr one day out of boredom, and I found pictures of Jeremy Renner, and I said "OMG I CAN STARE AT COUNTLESS IMAGES OF JEREMY RENNER'S ARMS ON TUMBLR?!" Bless the internet.
