    The endless abyss

    Today, I made a conscious decision to start paying attention to my Twitter account. After a long tug-of-war between being told that blogging and tweeting were good for me and my head telling me that I’m too serious of a writer for such things, I’ve given in. I’m going to try to keep up with the endless stream of information and sift through the never-ending sea of electronic communication. This shouldn’t be too hard considering I have an iPhone…I just have to find the time to remember to do all of these things.

    I remember making the tough transition from Xanga to Myspace, and then Myspace to Facebook. I juggled Myspace and Facebook for a while before deciding that it was too stressful for me to post the same exact thing in two different locations every time I wanted to communicate with the web world. Now, I have a Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr. How will I ever balance all three? Oh, and e-mail. And text messages. And phone calls. Is there even a need for such lines of communication anymore?

    I think the trick to this is going to be finding fresh information to post in every place. That way, the four or five people (is it really even that many?) who actually read them all will not get bored. We’ll see how that works out.

    For now, my advice for everyone is to try really hard to not get lost in the endless abyss of social networking and communication technology and remember that there is such a thing as the United States Postal Service (which I LOVE by the way), not to mention this archaic thing called face to face communication.
