James’ Blog

Archive for May, 2010

So after a little bit of thought I think I am going to give Google Buzz a try.   It is kind of a Twitter alternative.  I am not going to be posting stuff that I am having dinner at a certain restaurant or announce to everyone that I am about to take a crap.  It does make it a easier place for me to post a something real quick that doesn’t isn’t really enough to make a full Blog post about.  Also it a lot easier to share stories from my Google Reader.

I may post things on both my blog on my Buzz feed depending on how much I think should be said about the topic.  I am looking for a way to show my Buzz feed on the blog as well but I haven’t quite gotten there yet.

If you would like to follow me on Google Buzz go look at my Google Profile.

If you have a Facebook account you should really check out the site quitfacebookday.com.  There have been a lot of talk in the media lately about are constantly changing the privacy policy.  There have been many stories coming out about how this changes have been leaking out a lot of info that people thought would be private.  What also doesn’t help is stories coming out about what a great guy the founder Mark Zuckerberg is.

I was actually very much on the fence about finally getting my own Facebook account to see if I could catch up with some people that I have lost touch with over the years.  That was until I finally got around to watching last weeks Twit where they talked about all of these things.  I will be waiting for an alterative to come a long and maybe catch the next big fad.

This would almost be enough for me to get a TomTom if I didn’t already have one.

After a Facebook campaign to have Betty White host Saturday Night Live, she had this to say about Facebook during her monolog.  Being someone that just things Facebook is one of the dumbest things on the Internet right next to Twitter I just had to post this..
