To my friends on Facebook, I apologize that their silly application just spammed you with a gazillion posts from my blog all at once. For my blog readers, allow me to explain.
I have been a “lurker” on several social network sites for years (starting with Xanga). The main reason for this was so I could keep tabs on the kids in our youth group. If you want to know what’s really going on in a kid’s life, you must follow them on the latest networking site.
I say I’m a lurker because, well, I am. I do very little posting on Facebook. I turn down 99% of the application invitations I get. I don’t have time to be kidnapped, or to exchange buttons, or send beverages, or poke, or hug, or slap, or anything else.
There’s an old meme going around again on Facebook and I thought I’d give it a shot. While trying to figure out how to post a note (Took me half an hour, dangit.) I found a place I could link my blog to Facebook via RSS. So, I did. And Facebook promptly posted my last ten blog posts as new notes like some kind of blog machine gun. Thanks for turning me into a spammer, Facebook!
Anyway. If you’re reading this on Facebook, the come check out my real blog: Surely You’re Not Serious.
Oh, and by the way. You know that whole giving up the internet for Lent thing? Yeah. Not doing too good.
