Often times, I decide not to choose sides. Choosing sides can sometimes cause you sleepless nights, lose friends... Yesterday, I saw tweets regarding colours. One direct message letter, I was pointed towards the cause of all the commotion. You might want to consider reading this blog post. It explains a LITTLE better. :)
It is all in fun and for no reason at all.
Oh, yes, I am on this team. If you are on twitter and have not chosen a team... well, for the love of god, get moving!
After being offline-ish the past few days, I logged on to various websites I belong to and while looking at MyBlogLog page, it hit me - we are all WHORES! Yes, attention whores. Not that it is a bad thing. We want to connect, meet and get to know new people online and hopefully have the resources to meet them offline. How else are we to meet these new people if we are not out there, making our presence known?
Indeed.
The easiest way to make our presence known is to join twitter, Pownce, jaiku, to name a few (OK, I am really getting tired of adding linkages. Sorry) find and (actively) interact with others while of course providing links to our various blogs and flickr photo pages, etc.
That is not the part that suddenly slapped me this morning. It was the MyBlogLog page. MY MyBlogLog page. There's the link to see my various blogs, there is the link to my various friends and contacts, there is the link to my various social networking sites, there is the link on how to instant message, email, skype, etc. me. It is not enough we are delving into each other's public lives, we have to invite everyone to chit chat with us, find our friends (also a form of self-promo of course if you are everyone's friend. ;)) we invite them to look at our photos, find out everything there is to find out about us.
Of course not everyone is an attention whore. Only those who declare they are the best-looking, most creative, etc and not to mention, screaming the most controversial things just to get a rise out of others. No, the quiet and nice ones are not attention whores. Wrong.
If you have links to various blogs, music lists, book lists, etc, and you post them everywhere, you, my dear, are an attention whore. But you are not alone. And it is not a bad thing. Just be sure to come to terms with the fact that you are an attention whore. ;)
In the midst of twitter tweeting frenzy yesterday (because the cat stopped mucking about in there and let us ALL in) I was linked to mix.jetset. Yes, you guessed it.
Earlier today, I was also linked to Second Life. When I first heard about it, I thought, hey, neat. It is like... being forgiven for all your past sins in this life and you emerge a new person with a new identity. No such luck. Maybe a little similar...
I need to slow down.
In any case, feel free to begin a Second Life (account) or mix.jetset. Just be sure to let me know and add me. :)
