Jan. 12th, 2010 03:47 pmI'm cross-posting this from a Dreamwidth account and would encourage you to add me there and/or let me know your Dreamwidth ID so that I can add you. I've got two DW journals active. This one will be the default for general posting, and the other ( ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
nixy )will remain more or less dedicated to my on-again-off-again obsession with Sims 2 (sadly and mostly inadvertently put by the wayside for months now). Depending on which journal you're reading, you may wish to take the opportunity to add the second one (or drop me entirely, for that matter). I originally got a DW account to use as a backup for the LJ accounts, but the cross-posting feature makes it very tempting to move camp entirely to Dreamwidth, provided everyone else is using it, too.
All the social/networking/blogging options overwhelm me. I only recently gave in to both Facebook and Twitter. Despite allowing me to reconnect with an old friend both online and in person, Facebook mostly annoys me. It's a terrible blogging platform, and yet I am compelled to check it frequently. I am also irked that, although I have a username, Facebook doesn't let me actually use it anywhere and everything is under my parent-given name. Everyone has called me "Jed" for more than a decade and it's odd to see my given name next to my picture. Twitter, happily, has turned out to be delightful. It's fun to play within the character limit, and I've taken to writing retarded haiku about mundane things to amuse myself. Mostly myself, since I have very few Twitter contacts. I'm jed_bird there, fwiw, if your capacity for retarded haiku is not already maxed out.
