Social Media Monster

Lately I’ve been spending a lot of time online, catching up with friends, updating my Twitter and Foursquare info, uploading my pictures to my Evernote account and I’ve come to the realization that I am a grown man who now has a diary. It’s crazy to think that I’ve turned into a 12 year old girl as it relates to capturing the moments of my life using my social networks.  I guess its a good thing and makes me consider all the events in my life and how I want to edit them for posterity.  For example, if I’m out with friends and we take 25 pictures on my own, I only keep the only two pictures where I look relatively handsome.  The others go into a “prepare to destroy” file on my Photobucket account.  So after signing up on Klout, here is a list of all my social networks:

What I love about the current state of social media is that I can be an armchair voyeur.  I can listen in on peoples lives without having to buy a cup of coffee and sit with my back to a couple of loud mouth hipsters in Starbucks.  People LOVE to over share on Facebook and Twitter. I mean do I really need to know how good your coffee is?  Unless you are going to drive over to my house and drop off a cup, (did you notice how I said drop off a cup, I’d rather drink it alone in my underwear than chat), I really don’t need to know about your tasty beverage.

Bottom line is, I really need go get a life. :)
