Facebook has definitely cut into my e-time (i.e. time left over after daily life, etc. for internet browsing, bloghopping, emailing, blogging, etc.). Blogging now suddenly feels middle-aged, as opposed to Facebook where large numbers of pathetic, loser middle-aged facebookers try desperately to reach out to old girlfriends, etc, and to flirt clumsily in ridiculous efforts to capture lost opportunities.
Still, blogging retains a place in my e-life. For example, I can discuss in depth here - and only here - things that I think have been central to the formation of me-as-a-person. Bringing it up in conversation would make people smile politely, make them say "that's interesting" and then have them move on to other topics like the price of cabbages or the latest piece of gossip.
I haven't tried Twitter yet. Part of me thinks - what's with all that tweeting? The other part thinks - why, that's so cool! It would be ideal for all the trivial things that catch my attention and that aren't worth the time blogging about, or facebooking. Things like this, that prove just how much I procrastinate. Twitter could become my e-procrastination log. I'm thinking about it....
