One Site Too Many
For the past years I have become quite the phenomenal internet whore (along with my cousin of course). I believe that there is not one site we have not been active in, enrolled in, or at least heard of.
the mind boggles
Two days ago I was going through my ever-growing bookmark list of social sites and by God I can’t even recall when or why I joined those sites. I haven’t been active there nor have I really interest in them or even any time to give them enough attention.
In fact I noticed I waste so much time on unnecessary online crap it is unbelievable. I already cut down on lots of it but it looks like I will cut down on more.
If you’re an avid Digger or Stumbler you know what I mean. It is an exhausting task to be actively responsible for digging and stumbling and rating and reviewing each or most sites you visit. Even though you’d be contributing to the cumulative community, is it really what YOU want?
Sure, for a while, it is fun. But keeping up with so many people and events in so many areas takes a whole lot of time – time I can’t always afford or have the luxury to distribute left and right.
So with that I will be cutting down and closing accounts on many of these sites. Not that my dormant existence there will ever hurt my search results but perhaps meaningful ones are much better than those with me everywhere on the net. And everywhere isn’t truly credible.
Interestingly though people who got through my Digg and Stumble list know enough about me to strike up good conversations! So I guess there are some advantages after all.
*reconsiders closing accounts*

Man, I hear you!!!
When StumbleUpon tells you “You have exhausted all sites in categories” you know we’re spending too much time online on sites here and there. Apparently the internet does not grow as fast as we had hoped it would
Internet whores?! I hate you
What a good heart you have there, closing accounts you never use :clown:
Well i don’t close accounts, i keep opening accounts and then forget about them. Part of my plan to increase the internet’s bandwidth
So after I took my time to read your dilemma and considered your options you end it with “*reconsiders closing accounts*” *looks at Kinan#2′s comment… I hate you too lol
I think it’s always for the better to lessen internet social committments and venues of entertainment…just keep this blog up!
I’m with Ms Loala on this
I used to be just like but but sometimes I think I’m only kidding myself. So far, I’m enrolled (or a member) of the following:
- Facebook
- Twitter
- WordPress
- NeoGaf
- Digg
It’s so tiring leaving your humble mark in the great world of Internet…
man…my mental capacity does not handle having too many accounts, because this means I have to remember all the usernames and passwords, which is an unnecessary burden I am not willing to take.

LOOOOL we’re hopeless!
Ms Loala -
Yeah I will probably keep them open in the end. More traffic

You have a mental capacity now? Fi improvement
I know what you mean.
It almost happened to me and it’s just like realizing that you’ve finally grown up and are more mature than to just be enrolled in all those websites!
HAHHAHAHAHAAHA, I know exactly how that feels…Internet is a killer! AS it gets easier to use, it’s still time consuming.

It is horrible I swear! No time at all
JuJu -
Crazy isn’t it? The more facilities we have the less the time!
I always used to wonder how you found all that time to do all these things. I just thought you were just super efficient in time management
.. but you are right .. i don’t have half your footprint on the social web, but that is still enough to drain my clock .. .so good luck with that KJ.
I just found out that i made it to your list of imbeciles .. Yaay !!
Za3tar -
I actually don’t have time which is why I am cutting down. No need to be in so many ridiculous ridiculousness! LOL! And yeah you’ve been on the list of imbeciles since I started reading for you w00t!
