The Latest Social Media

Woo hoo! I've found inspiration to rant once more to nobody. I was just thinking about creative media social networking sites and how as soon as I catch up with one it all moves onto another. I took the time to complete a profile on myspace, then I found reverbnation which allowed me in turn to move onto a facebook music page just as I saw people posting things from soundcloud, it's probably moved on from there as i can't really be bothered to go through the registration and profile padding phase. It's like talking bullshit to strangers at a party, you have to do it time and again, I don't enjoy it, I'm not good at it and sometimes during, I want to stop and laugh and say 'who the hell am I kidding?!'

I know that sooner or later to keep up with the tide I'll have to carry on and find the latest platform but I'm leaving a cyberspace trail of outdated profiles which I'm fairly sure if they stay active will start to look like embarrassing photographs you'd forgotten about from ten years ago, this blog even hasn't seen any activity from me since 2008 and I'm quite worried about reading back to where I was at last time i typed in this field. I know for sure that my biography is out of date now.

Where to spread your inane chatter next then? "I'll post on blogger, I'll move my blog to my myspace, I'll transfer it to unsigned chart so i have something interesting to say, oh I'll carry on to twitter, wait! how many characters do I get to express myself ? I have never been so monosyllabic!"

Google has a social media platform now? I'm already with Gmail so I should just be able to log in via that surely and then there's linkedin, which is for businesses? I'm not a business, I doubt a business person would want to hire me for my personal information, I'm assuming you don't enter hobbies or favourite music or movies and I just don't have the patience to flesh out another profile today.

You even have to search for the friends you have on other social networking sites on the next social networking sites as they've moved on or deleted their profiles on the decidedly passe platform, right enough of this let's get this published so I can share it on facebook.
