a comment that nerveending had about plurk has changed my mind about microblogging. he said i should start adding friends so that the service would "come alive". not too keen on that, i guess. it made me question why i bothered posting up there when he was the only friend i have. twitter is the same; i have a few followers and nerveending is the only person who replies. i had to rethink the fact that i have this blog and why i haven't posting here in a while. now as i type this out i can't figure out why i don't post here more often.

what i do figure is that i'm probably going to close my accounts on both plurk and twitter. it would have made more sense i suppose if i knew more who were into micro blogging. it is a really great idea however i think i'm using it the wrong way. or even worse, had the wrong set of expectations using the service. i can't decide. i'm still on a high from the archers pulling out a win against the tigers earlier. that and the sugar high from the soda i'm drinking is making my thinking all fuzzy. either way, it has stunted instead of help develop my writing. well, back to this old thing then.

come to think of it. i don't know that many people who send long sms messages without cutting the words short. i kind of equate microblogging to typing out sms messages; and the main reason i hardly put anything up there on twitter or plurk is that the charachter count freaks me out, getting closer to zero before i'm done. then i get too lazy to type out on my main blog (another one is up on my friendster account which is just a mirror of this). time to shake off some bad writing habits. time to stop making excuses. time to start barfing out ideas to this blog.

yes, i do have an account on friendster.

that is for another post.
