Boo-hoo

I have JUST deleted my twitter account.

I feel a little bad about it because I honestly did it on pure impulse. One minute I was looking at my twitter page (I had last updated it 48 days ago) and I was realizing just how miserable my tweets were and then "click" -Deactivate.

Next thing I see is the little tweet bird in the far right corner of my screen with tears in its eyes and a whole lot of letters giving me all the reasons why I should NOT quit, asking me if I'm really sure I wanted to delete the account.

Well, of course I'm sure. That's why I clicked deactivate! I finally click the same option once more and another pop-up window appears asking me ONE last time if I want to deactivate it and asking me once more for my password.

By this point I'm not even acting on impulse. I'm just staring at the screen. Are you kidding me? Again? Are they TEMPTING me to screw up with their whole system? Cause I will.

Ergo... I'm back to having no twitter. :P

Talking about that... did you know that there is actually a Social Networks Suicide machine? Yep! There is! It will permanently delete you from twitter, facebook, myspace, etc. It's called Web 2.0 Suicide Machine and you can find it here: http://suicidemachine.org/#

Personally, I think the machine is hilarious. It's slogan? "Wanna meet your real new neighbours again?" I mean, there are various way to delete yourself from the internet. I could tell you a few. But that someone actually came up with this idea on their own is just ingenious. There IS a problem. So many people are trying to socially suicide at the same time that the machine can't process that much info. Nonetheless, it's interesting that people actually want their real life back.

Me? I don't like social networks that much. I like blogger because I write and that's entertaining, but I don't even have a Facebook. Well, neither am I interested. Take it from someone who knows... whatever you put in the web stays in the web and it leaves traces... and we can find you if you want.

See that warning INTERPOL launched today about the risk of terrorist tracks if the Quran was burned? We tracked that. Yeah, they still call me sometimes to lend a helping hand, but I'm working freelance. I'm like their consultant. Which is great. It gives me time to work on the store, there's moving going on again, the wedding, etc.

That was what I had to say for myself today.


Bye now! :3
