I have had Facebook
since for eva. I even used to be
addicted, I spent hours and hours on Facebook, chatting on discussions or
playing games. I was a complete
addict. My sister started calling it
Crackbook (she was also an addict.) They
say the first step to recovery is admitting there is a problem. I knew I was an addict but I did not want
to be cured.
Facebook for some or
other reason (I think it was all the fights) removed the discussion
boards. I became tired of the games that
I had been playing and some of my favourites were removed. Thus I was cured of one of my worst
addictions.
Probably about two
years ago I opened a Twitter account but I did not become a Twit
immediately. My little brain thought it
all looked a bit complex so I did what I do best when I don’t know I left
it.
BUT
I am rather curious
and when I next had some time to spare and as I was not spending as much spare
time on Facebook anymore, I decided to have another looky see.
At the time I was
really getting into blogging. I realised
that twitter would be very good to get more people to look at my blog.
I also discovered that
the fastest way to get local news is twitter.
The news team often
tweet it before there is an article.
I started to follow
all kinds of people that looked interesting.
Then I discovered that there is a limit depending on the percentage
people following you back.
So I googled “How do I
find out who is not following me back on Twitter”
I found those sites
that tell you.
They have the free
version where they show you all the people not following you back but you have
to unfollow one by one.
They have the paid for
version where you can unfollow a group.
I think I may have
mentioned before that I am:
- Cheap
- Broke
So of course I took
the free version. Unfollowing one by one
can be very boring so I have developed a strategy to make it more entertaining.
- First I unfollow all the eggs.
- Next I unfollow all the letter logos.
- Then because flashing lights give me migraine I unfollow all the flashy, moving profiles.
- Then comes the odd looking people
- Then the animated characters.
- Then any landscape pics.
Perhaps I should not
be writing all this on my blog. From my
previous blogs you knew I was a little unstable but I think now you must think:
“She is fucking crazy”
I also used to spend hours and hours on the discussion boards on fb, and I also used to play all the mindless games, but I got a bit bored, then I got a bit busy, so fb was a bit of a hazy memory.
ReplyDeleteI have also rekindled my fb interest, but the whole fb scene seems to have gone a bit DEAD.
I think they messed with a winning formula....who says all change is positive?
I agree those discussions were so much fun.
