Just checked in with Facebook…
That’s 465 items, not including the couple dozen friend requests I accepted yesterday, after checking for the first time in a month or two. It’s sort of metasticized from the last time I expressed my annoyance with Facebook, almost a year ago.
Maybe in another month I’ll check back again.
yea we get it you’re popular.
I think there’s a difference between popularity and knowing a lot of people. I’ve been around a long time and know a lot of people, especially in the tech industry. So I think the numbers here are combination of neglected Facebook maintenance and knowing a lot of people.
But hell, maybe you’re right. Most of the requests are from people I don’t know. Or barely remember from somewhere or other.
In any case, I’ve never played the popularity game, and have no interest in it, which is why it’s beside the point I’m making here, which is also the one I made almost a year ago.
Guess I should have pointed back to that. Maybe I’ll add the link now.
If you stopped picking up your voicemail for a month you’d probably have missed the same amount of information.
If you stopped cleaning your kitchen for a month it would be a mess too =)
[…] As personal journals on the Web go, blogs have no substitute. Twitter is fine for 140-character micro-postings, and for the ecosystem surrounding it. But micro-posts are not journals. Flickr is great for posting, tagging, organizing and annotating photographs, and for allied services such as creating groups and the rest of it, but it ain’t blogging. Facebook has some blogging features, but at the cost of forcing the blogger to operate in a vast hive of non-journalistic activity — and flat-out noise. […]
