Google Buzz

Ok, it looks cool. But does it make anyone else have this thought: I have way too many blogging/social networking platforms, and nothing to say?

Not counting my various sockpuppet LJs that I used once or twice and dropped, I already have 8 blogs (LJ, IJ, DW, Vox, some under my RL name, some different pseuds for work blogs), plus facebook and myspace. I use about 2 of these actively, and by "actively" I mean a fortnightly post. My life just isn't that interesting, and I refuse to make updates about what I ate for breakfast or what I've done on farmville. (I don't get the farmville thing AT ALL).

i'm overextended too, with facebook and ljs (3 of them at least semi-active) and so on. farmville? i'd have no patience for that. but i loooove blip.fm. *g*

[norwich36.livejournal.com]

I don't know what blip.fm is.

[myownghost.livejournal.com]

it's a DJ site. i have spent untold hours searching out music i love and playing it, but i ignore the twittery/facebooky socially interactive aspect of it. blip

[norwich36.livejournal.com]

Oh. I thought it was another facebook thing.

[serenography.livejournal.com]

I'm stretched enough with LJ, Facebook and various forums. I have no interest in even checking out GoogleBuzz.

I have a DW account, but I never ever use it.

[norwich36.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I've posted at DW twice, maybe? And I bought a souped-up account there, too, because I thought I wanted more icons. Oh well. I am happy to know if LJ goes crazy again there is someplace I can go.

If I may be cranky for a moment: just hide Farmville! You can hide it without hiding other things by the people using it.

[norwich36.livejournal.com]

Oh, I didn't realize you could do that.

[rsadelle]

If you hit hide, then it'll give you an option to hide the person or the application.

Ok, it looks cool.

hahah, but google waves also looked cool, and yet still not lived up the hype :D

and yeah, I just made a post asking about facebook and co, but your "I refuse to make updates about what I ate for breakfast " rings true to me too.

Re: Ok, it looks cool.

Yeah, and with all the privacy concerns I just turned it off--it's not like I'd be using it anyway.
