Social Networking Apathy

4 Comments

I’m not quite sure when it happened.  Maybe it was the week I was on vacation and didn’t have Internet access for most of the time.  Maybe it’s just been building up un-noticed for the past few months.  I have Social Networking Apathy.

Which is very unlike me.  I’ve been twittering for quite a while, even using a ping.fm chat bot in Google Talk to update my statuses on Facebook, Twitter, and Myspace all at the same time.

But some how my interests have changed.  I no longer want to tell everyone what I’m doing all the time, and  I don’t want to know what everyone is doing at any given time.  I love technology and web 2.0 and all that it gives us, but I think I’m getting information overkill.

I like to follow people I know on Twitter.  Following businesses or tech gurus has been enlightening as well.  The instantaneous access to information is very nice.  The question I must ask is this:  how in the world could you follow over 1000 people?  Do you really need to know that much stuff?  I have people starting to follow me that are following over 3000 other Twitter users.  What the frak?  Why add me to your list when you don’t know me?  Sigh…

So, I’m not tweeting so much anymore.  I might tweet once in a while, but for the most part, I think I’m done.

I almost feel the same way in regards to Facebook.  Almost, but not quite.  I like the fact that I’ve reconnected with a bunch of old high school friends.  I like seeing everybody’s pictures and shared items and links.   I just don’t want to spend so much time on it as I used to.  Life is too short to be on the computer so much (says the Mac Addict!)

Firefoxtunestwitterfied (trust me, it really does make sense)

No Comments

I have finally joined to legions of devoted Twitter users to micro-blog and micro-text my way to insanity.  If you’d like to read a very good article on how to use Twitter, follow this link.

In order to take advantage of my newfound compulsion, I switched back to Firefox so I could use some very cool extensions for Twitter.

In switching back to Firefox, I was able to take advantage of Foxytunes, a plug-in for Firefox that let’s you control iTunes or Last.fm or Pandora right from your browser.


This is what the Foxytunes toolbar looks like.  It sits at the bottom of Firefox.  It isn’t in the least bit distracting. Clicking on the little orange music note produces the following:
Like I said, you can control all your different media players right from your web browser!  To the left, a scrolling text box announces what is playing (not seen in the above screenshot)

Now this is where Twittytunes comes in.  It is a plug-in for Foxytunes.  It will send a “tweet” to all your followers of what you are listening to.
You can let everyone know how cool you are by showing them what you are listening to; everyone know that people who listen to Whitecross are cooler than most, eh?

There are a few different options to send to your followers from Twittytunes.

You can keep everyone informed to the websites you are browsing, what you are reading; well, you can read the list from up above.  If you are using Twitter, than this is a fabulous tool.

One other extenstion I found is Twitterfox.  It lets you see all your tweets right from Firefox.  You can post and reply to all of your fellow Twitterers!

So, if you do join the Twitter community, send me a tweet at metalman777!
