Twitter and I are breaking up.<\/p>\n
I like the concept. It works well for me. But the problem is the public-ness of it all. I know, I write in a public blog about my reproductive system, what could possibly be more public than that? The thing is, this blog is moderately “hidden” from search engines. I am not stupid, I know that nothing is fool-proof, but I have some sense of being left alone in the internet world. I am here, wide open, if you know where to look – on the infertility blog rolls, from other blogs. But some random schmo searching for “condoms” won’t suddenly pop up in my blog. I have things in place to keep the spam away – and it actually does a reasonably good job of it, too.<\/p>\n
Twitter spam is irritating as hell. I get it in all forms – the random friender that is really just a spam front; the @replies from some company\/product that I might have mentioned off-hand; and the people who twitter and add others just for the numbers and the publicity. It pisses me off. Don’t use me to make a buck. Some days I feel like the only thing my twitter account does is allow this crap to find me. I now think twice about what words I’m using. It’s negated all the positives.<\/p>\n
I find myself liking Facebook more, though I post much less there than I do in Twitter. I know who is reading, and it’s a lot more interactive. (It’s also a lot more family members, which is why I keep discussions of my hooha down to a minimum there… hence having twitter separate.)<\/p>\n
So I might be going friends-only with twitter. Which means no happy twitter updates at the top of the blog during IVF stuff… which is the reason I started it in the first place. This is a problem. I dislike problems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
