Another useless exercise in social media…

Yesterday I emailed an old friend, a former air traffic controller like myself. I asked him whether he used Gtalk, Skype, or Yahoo Messenger. He emailed me back a link to PLAXO. As I was wasting yet more time filling out my profile page, the phone rang. It was him. Why didn’t he just call me in the first place? Why did I feel like I had to get on PLAXO?

I have tried, Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn, and now Plaxo. I was on Twitter in the early days and still am as Julynn, but I hardly comment anymore. All of these “social media” should really be called “time vacuums.” I have lost so much time to those damn pages I have decided to quit them. All my stuff will be right here on this blawg. Stay tuned…
