telemeister I find that I don’t really know what to do with it. So far I have used the blog section a little, but those are largely cut and pastes of the public entries I put here (it seems a bit silly to put friends locked stuff on it), though there are some differences.
It’s not as user-friendly as LJ in my opinion, certainly insofar as the customising goes, anyway. I have to confess that it is probably as much to do with any lack of application on my part as anything. I have found a couple of people over there who are over here: neither of them ever log on (probably rarely here, too) :ruletwo and magpye, I’m looking at you. Equally, I find Mr Hudson, late of Comic Showcase there, but even when online he responds not to friends requests. Maybe I should change my aftershave? No-one on my meagre friends list who are REAL people write anything or do anything with it. It all seems a bit odd, really.
Of course, you get to pretend to be friends with famous and not so famous rock stars. So it is that I can pretend to be mates with Greg Lake and Robert Fripp, on speaking terms with both current versions of Barclay James Harvest and disappear down the pub with Jakko M Jaksyck. That would all be better if I thought for a single moment that they really were who they said they were, and not just their official fan club or publicity agents at best, or just scunners pretending at worst.
I reckon that I’ll give it another week and then just cast it loose; after all, that’s what I did with my Blogger account (though I deleted and reactivated that in a different format before abandoning it) and my Wordpress account which I never really got going on.
No, all my blogging needs are covered here, with you lot. I don’t think I have the energy for more than one lot of real rambles day in and day out. Especially when I have the strong suspicion that I’m the only one there.
