social networking junkie

After joining Google+, I came to the scary conclusion that my cyber imprint in this world is too large. I have an account on:

• google+
• facebook
• twitter
• blogspot
• tumblr
• yelp
• foursquare
• dailymile
• livejournal (though pretty inactive)
• xanga (though same as above)

I am ubiquitous and highly stalkable (though I'm not sure why anyone would, considering that I'm a pretty boring person). I was originally writing this post because I wanted to trim the fat and get rid of at least half of these accounts, but I realized that they all serve such unique purposes. I was initially going to part ways with facebook (and wholly google plus it... is that too much of a risk?) but then I realized there are still some aspects of facebook that I really will miss (i.e. looking at pics of people's babies... sounds kind of creepy of me, but they're all people I - somewhat - know!) Anyway, as I was typing, I changed my mind again and really decided to deactivate my facebook, because most of the people I truly care about it and care to keep in touch with are on google+ or will be on it shortly (it's all a matter of time...) Yes, I'm a fickle creature. Ok, so I just deactivated my facebook, and it's showing me pictures of people who will miss me, which is pretty funny, because I highly doubt they'll miss me. In fact, they probably won't know that I even left. And now Facebook tells me that I can sign back into my account anytime I want and that they hope I'll come back soon. Oh, what a sentimental bunch.

ps. new pet peeve: when people call Google+ "Google+1"... Google +1 is the little button (similar to the Facebook "Like" button) not the social network itself.
