Anyhoo, on to the good stuff...
I stole this from Liz Strauss. I surprisingly scored higher than she did. Wierd, eh?

It's true. I'm starting to think of twitter as a place. I'm pretty sure that's not healthy.
Speaking of twitter, a few days ago I noticed Matthew Good was on twitter and facebook. I've been a fan for years, so I automatically clicked "follow" and carried on going about my business on the internets.
I knew I'd never send him an @ message, or write on his wall, or anything like that. But it felt neat that I had the ability to form a connection with an artist that had previously completely unattainable.
To my surprise, he had actually added me back on both channels.
I know I'm only one of hundreds of followers and thousands of facebook pals, but I felt appreciated. I felt valued as a fan.
I thought about how some people (including my former self) don't subscribe to the value of facebook or twitter as they are "synthetic" connections.
Maybe social media connections are meaningless, but that doesn't mean that a small gesture like clicking that "follow" button doesn't make a difference to someone.
Blargh, I wish that came out more concise. But it didn't. You get the idea, I hope.
