Damn you Twitter.
You too Facebook.
You’re killing this blog. I can’t focus on writing a decent post with the two of you around.
Facebook with your stupid addicting Mafia Wars. What the hell is up with that anyway? How can something so unbelievably simple and mundane be so enthralling? All I’m doing is pressing a freakin’ button. So dumb. But I just can’t stop. It has become a ridiculous time suck. Everything about Facebook is a time suck. I need to just stay away.
And then there is Twitter.
I am in love with you Twitter. I must be. I can’t stop looking at you. Or touching you. You make it so easy. I don’t have to think to hard or flesh out a fleeting thought. Hell, you are a fleeting thought’s wet dream. 140 characters is all your asking for. No strings attached. Instant gratification. Your siren song is just too hard to resist.
And with every delicious tweet you are killing this blog.
Damn you.
My sentiments exactly. Twitter and FB seem to be leaving for dead countless blogs these days. Hang in there, though. Your site’s a good one.

Guitar Dad—I haven’t jumped ship yet.

I don’t look at Facebook that much, and I’ve pretty much ignored Mafia Wars for the past month or more. Twitter is another story. I keep thinking about how much blogging has changed in the time I’ve been doing it. My feed reader is really shrinking as more and more blogs are being retired.

Although I am not into Mafia Wars (I don’t even know what they are) I do find myself thinking in tweets and status updates. And I can do them both from my phone! Which makes sitting down at my blog feel too time consuming. I think we need a help group. Bloggers Against No-Thought Sites.

I think this is why I’m trying to move away from Twitter. Just an occasional Tweet, and no consistent logging in. Too tempting.

Ah ha, *now* I know why I have stayed away from Twitter! I’ve heard it is way too addicting, and now you have confirmed it. I know I gave up my MySpace page awhile ago because Facebook was easier and more fun, and I feel like sometimes my blog suffers because I am spending my free time on Facebook. Now that work took away FB, my blog is all I have to get through the day and it can be pretty lonely over there. Funny how the social networking thing really does get its claws into us!
Anyway, I will always read whatever you write, wherever (except on Twitter). Keep fighting the good fight!!
