FriendFeed, Twitter, Facebook, et al

I'm sitting staring blankly at the FriendFeed "badge" here on my blog. It cheerily invites all who see it to sign up to a feed from my Facebook page and Twitter and my Picasa page. Stranger, it also offers people a glimpse at my Netflix queue, my Amazon wishlist, and what I'm guessing is an RSS feed of this blog. Don't get me wrong. It's not that I mind. I'm not overly worried about my privacy (if I was, this wouldn't be the sort of stuff that would concern me). Besides, nobody reads this blog anyway. The fact is, I'm the one who put the badge on here in the first place. I just don't see why anyone, other than a lover or a stalker, would want to know that much trivial stuff about somebody else.

I'm supposed to be working right now but there's something weirdly fascinating to me about a blog that sits unread. So I look at it a couple times a day, checking for responses and then trying to figure out what the lack of comments say about me. (I actually did get a comment once. It was quite a good one but I didn't read it until weeks after it was left so that was the end of that.)

Ah well, back to the job. Follow me on Twitter! Or become my blip.fm listener!
