WordPress contacts, I’ll read your blogs as always, and comment occasionally. But for my main social interactions, look for me on Twitter ( @silverdrag0n ).
I’m not the first to say it, so I won’t belabor the point. Facebook is an Infinite Time Sink™. It’s designed that way. It’s disastrous for me; I get sucked down into hyperfocus and emerge — if at all — hours later. It doesn’t seem to matter how often I check or don’t — every visit to Facebook seems to take the same inordinate amount of time.
Twitter is comparatively ADHD-friendly. Since every tweet has to fit into 140 characters, many people actually put effort into making their tweets say the most in the fewest words. I don’t have to see every tweet my Twitter friends have liked. I can stop following, and it’s not a big deal. It’s not a big deal if I start following someone, either. The mobile apps now function as a news headline service as well, so I can catch up on world events — at least those that are getting tweeted about.
So, I’m going to be finding my Facebook friends and blog friends on Twitter if I can. See y’all there!
