Rideo, ergo sum
me too!!!
I wanted to blog this because I like the number 1 thing on her list of things to put a stop to.
1) I will stop accepting friend requests on Yahoo, Orkut, etc. from unknown people. I know, I know, I have made a lot of good friends on communities like these, but it is too much of a strain on the resources to have to weed through all the creeps to get to the "few good (wo)men". So, I am going to give up all the potential good friends I may have made on all these communities and messengers by refusing to friend anyone whom I don't already know, either personally or through debates on some forum or through reading/commenting of blogs.
This resonated with me because I don't know how many times I've been minding my own business online but then I get messages from whoever from wherever wanting me to be friends.
I think she sums it up nicely. Look, it's nothing personal, but considering all the morons you have to sift through online, it's best to "just say no."
Plus, I love the image of chocolates on her template.
I want to try to make a habit of sharing other blogs that entertain me because I find I tend to just bookmark them, yet not share. Hmmmmmm...does that mean I'm selfish? Probably... Sphere: Related Content
Thank you for all the compliments! About the friend requests, you will not believe how much easier it is to click the ignore button now that I have blogged about it :)
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! I was so happy to read it because now I have a nice compact way to explain why I tend not to bother with friend requests anymore. I've had Internet access since law school and I was in school during the dot.com boom, so I experienced a lot. I have met some great, great folks via the Internet. Like you, if I know you through an online community or something similar, great, I'll consider a new Internet friend...otherwise, um, "no".
