This post is all about using letters. See? I've already typed two, almost three sentences using them.
So I'm having a Facebook clean out. Yes, I am no longer a Pittsburgh Steeler fan. (Sorry Alyssa.) Yes, I have gotten rid of Hatching eggs, Cute gifts, Circles of friends, and FB house. Yes, I even got rid of LeapTag, after recommending it to all my friends.
I even got rid of "Pieces of flair" right after accepting one.
WHY ALL THIS CARNAGE?
Because, folks, if it doesn't make me smile or giggle (throwing a sheep? Hysterical!) or if I only have three or fewer friends participating...it's just not worth it!
I remember a presenter from the Web 2.0 seminar at PLA (that's Public Library Association for you non-library folks) saying: "Lonely is bad." What she meant: try a few Web 2.0 things. If they don't catch on, take them down, try something else. again. and again.
I am not a furry pet person. Sorry, I'm just not. They do not make me smile. My sister playing with her rabbit, that makes me smile, because I love my sister. I love flowers. But don't send me one every-single-day.
Which brings me to this blog. Oh my goodness I need to make it more fun or something. Because I need something on this doggone Web 2.0 that makes turning on the computer in the morning worth the electricity it takes...
I have started a "librarian" blog using my real name (email me if you know me, I'll give you the link.) Oh my goodness. It is so boring, it puts me to sleep. But I plan to persevere...even if I need spell check to tell me I misspelled persevere. Twice now!
Oh, I even got rid of the "books" application on FB. Which is probably a good thing, as I belong to LibraryThing, WorldCat, and some one that all my church friends belong to. I might ditch that one. Because it's lonely, my friends, and it doesn't make me giggle. But I don't even remember what it's called, so I don't think it's at the top of my list of things to do. (Neither is laundry, come to think.) I think it begins with an S...
Maybe I'll go throw a sheep at someone. Oh, the noise they make...it makes me smile and giggle. And that's why I pay for broadband, after all.

enjoy your declutter clean out!! FB is addicting...all those applications and things to do!!
it makes noise when you throw things on superpoke?!
I knew you hated me. And the Steelers. (kidding, of course!)
Seriously I click "ignore" on at least 98% of those things. I find them completely obnoxious.
I think I recently threw some cake at you. But I don't get it. When people poke at me, is it because they don't have anything to say to me but want me to know they are out there?
It's a whole new world out there.
Wanna play some scramble? :)
you got rid of LeapTag?!?!? ouuuch. that hurts us. please come back :-)
but seriously, i understand you got rid of some of the silly apps. they get boring after a while, but we really would like to know why you got rid of LeapTag. we were hoping our app would be more sticky.
