Or so you would think. Normally I tend to post stuff on this that I’ve taken ages to find out, and so I can find it again if I have to. I’ve not posted anything since November only because there hasn’t really been much stuff to post about. The other thing that prevents posting is that most of my updates now come from Twitter, if I can put out stuff in a few words it’s a lot easier and means I don’t even really have to think.

Twitter gets a lot of flack, mostly from people who use Facebook and don’t understand how it works, quite a few comments from people that have never checked it out, and of course the Daily Mail here, here, here, here and here. Of course, anything that causes that many articles in the Daily Mail must be a good thing. I’ve once again closed my Facebook account, partly for reasons of spending probably far too much time getting dragged into reading status updates; partly to avoid ever getting involved in Farmville; partly because I’m shocked about their privacy policies, or lack of them.

Facebook bad. Twitter good

I’ve created this handy cut out and keep reference card in case anyone asks me why I’ve not updated my Facebook status, which I toned down from my original Hitler Vs Jesus design, well, it was controversial.

I haven’t mentioned Linked In, which I’m also on, but that mainly seems to be useful for desperate Job Agency types to meet with desperate Job Seekers, but that’s it. Buzz is ok, but I’m on Twitter now. Fine.

Anyway, what do you think is the future of social media?
