One of my ongoing projects, as you know, has been to seek Global Domination by bending Cyberspace to my will. One aspect of this quest has been to explore the various social media sites that have been springing up online. Some (MySpace, FaceBook) have been around quite a bit longer than some of the newer upstarts (Twitter, Plurk), and all of them have their various quirks and idiosyncrasies. I still have a long way to go before I figure it all out, but most of these sites have some compulsive entertainment value if nothing else.
One thing that is true of all of these sites is that they work best when you’ve connected yourself to a significant and growing number of people. While I’ve had Facebook and MySpace accounts for years, my presence on the other sites is only weeks old. In other words: I need friends! I need followers! I need minions!
Below are links to my profiles on some of the sites I have joined. If you are a member of any of these sites, please add me to your friend lists and whatnot, and you can follow my exploits online. Soon, as you find yourself more and more engrossed in the ongoing saga of my life, you may even be finding yourself more interested in my well-being than in your own. And that’s exactly the way the world should be, yes?
So click in and join me everywhere:
In time I’ll be adding these and others to my About page, which still is in serious need of updating. That will happen eventually, and in the meantime, I look forward to connecting with you on any and all of these sites.

MySpace - yes, I can do. Twitter - sure. Facebook - yes, like crack it is!
However, I must draw the line there. What the heck is Plurk? Who the Sam Hill came up with that and why? Good grief, I’d have to spend all day just keeping up with the various accounts - is anyone getting any work done?

Plurk is weird. You post a sentence or so, just like on Twitter, but the comment is placed in a horizontal timeline rather than a vertical list. I’m not yet sure why this is an improvement. But it looks like it could be fun, provided that you get a group of people plurking each other regularly. And, gwarsh, I hope that that turns out to be exactly as obscene as I imagine it might be.
