Where Am I?

Trying to determine where I am headed here, online, blogging this personal blog. I've perhaps mentioned before that I feel a need to narrow my focus as to why I'm here. Jerry Seinfeld succeeded with a TV series in the last century that claimed to be a show about nothing, thereby including everything... but I should be so lucky.

Yup, perhaps a bit more focus.

Follow Me

I haven't yet figured out how to set up an RSS feed for my website, but then again, I don't have a product or service that might warrant creating one (that anyone would bother to subscribe to anyway). Perhaps it is because of its blogcentric nature, being more personal than commercial (or informational)... and a Twitter account would be just the ticket. At least the ads tell me that this is a tool to have for a down-and-dirty social network.

I opened an account in January of this year but haven't updated my tweets regularly.

Check out the sidebar and scroll down to the Twitter updates; click on the link to "follow me on Twitter" (as if anyone would bother to subscribe to this over an RSS feed). Tweets are limited to 140 characters in length, so it's possible people will find this brevity more socially acceptable.

BlogCatalog

I recently signed up with BlogCatalog in order to (I suppose) mingle with others in the blog community. I ran across this site through a link I found at Steph's blog and joined out of curiosity. Where this will take me is anyone's guess.

So far, in the short amount of time since I signed up, it's smelling a bit like MySpace. Buried in my archives is some banter regarding my observations of the MySpace community (I really need to work on a Search feature to sift through those archives!). Perhaps my comparison is premature.

At least in BlogCatalog's effort to clone features for The Rest of Us, we get to pick and choose what to include in our accounts, and use it to refer to our own blogsites and not (totally) have to reinvent the wheel. Save for the advertisements. But as it's often been said, there's no such thing as a "free lunch".

I don't feel quite so dirty now.
