I am internet fodder

[orangerful]

So, VOX is closing it's doors so I had to move my book/movie/whatever review blog to a new spot. I tried Wordpress but then got distracted by Posterous, so I've set up camp there. It imported all of my old posts and looks like it should also auto-crosspost to Livejournal, which is what I did with Vox before. But if you want to check out the new digs, feel free to visit http://readwatchblog.posterous.com/

So, how many does that make? Let's see:

Livejournal - my main place to babble about whatever

Blogger - Library related stuff, trying to keep track of booklists, booktalks, storytime plans etc.

Vox Posterous - Read.Watch.Blog. (and I also made a placeholder for just an orangerful blog - suggestions?...)

Tumblr x3 - Mangled Titles, Convention Adventures, and Found in Library Books. Tumblr's interface annoys me though, I can never get the layout right for the posts. If Posterous turns out to be user-friendly enough, I might move my two main Tumblr blogs to that site.

Dreamwidth - my writing blog, which means I haven't touch it since last November when I attempted NANOWRIMO :(

Twitter - a mini-livejournal of random posts about whatever

Typepad MicroBlog - not really sure what to do with this one. Kept it going for awhile with a meme but then ran out of ideas. Suggestions? Maybe I could make it into a collecting blog, post things I buy...

FormSpring - kind of a micro-q&a-blog, had it's moment of popularity but it seems to have died downa LOT, at least among my online crowd.

Facebook - just imports my LJ blog so doesn't really count.

Dead blogs:
Xanga - signed up for this because I had a couple friends on there, but the ads annoyed me.
MySpace - Tried to blog there a couple times but I hated that site SO MUCH that it wasn't worth it. Didn't let me import either like Facebook does
Star Wars Blog - so unnecessary for me to seperate my fandoms. If I babble Star Wars here on Livejournal, enough people on here get it.

And those are just the ones I remembered to bookmark...wonder how many more are out there...I have a lot of those cataloging sites too - librarything, Shelfari, which are both ignored because I prefer GoodReads interface and iPhone app.

I signed up for listal, DVD Aficianado, and blu-ray.com but haven't used any of them since day 1. It's just easier to make an Excel spreadsheet.

I've got accounts on Pandora and Blip.fm but last.fm is the only site that gets updated with my music because of the program that "scrobbles" my iTunes and autoupdates my page (I refuse to sign up for iTunes PING because they make you use your real name, which annoys me).

Then there was the websites I had to make for school - the YA Readers Advisory wiki for my YA class and the Graphic Novels for Grown-Ups website I built for my web design class.

Most recently, I've added FourSquare and GetGlue. GetGlue is getting the most abuse since I don't really find myself out enough to use FourSquare to the fullest (though I am the mayor of the local coffee house in Severna Park...so yeah). Plus, GetGlue is supposed to send me REAL stickers for all the virtual ones I have earned. (but I've seen jellibean and dwrd tweeting with a site that does a similar thing...only no stickers - why did you guys go with that one?).

Anyway, that's me all over.

I love the idea of a blog about things you've found in library books! (I should steal the idea from you and start posting pictures to hardcovermusing, if I can get away with it.)

This post also makes me realise that my corner of the internet is so small. XD (I used to be on a lot of the sites you've mentioned in this post, but deleted my profiles because I felt like I was spreading myself too thin. Huge internet is huge.)

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

Don't steal it! We should team up. I'm really thinking of moving it all to Posterous and it looks like it is very easy to add collaborators with that service. I always wanted it to be more of a group effort. :-)

[plumxxjam.livejournal.com]

That is an even better idea! :D Love it.

[impalalove]

Any idea why VOX is closing their doors?

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

No idea. My guess is that it just never got big enough and Six Apart is just going to focus on TypePad? They try to tell you to export your blog to Typepad, but that site costs money and I'm only paying for one blogging service, thank you very much!

[ekaterin24.livejournal.com]

And I thought I had a lot of blogs. (I'm sorta grateful AO3 lost me)

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I have a blog problem haha. I just can't help myself!

[jellibean.livejournal.com]

I use foursquare and Gowalla, I just don't have them post to Twitter. Gowalla doesn't have badges or stickers or anything like that, but not as many people use it.

There's also miso now, which is basically foursquare for TV. ^_^

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

ah crap, now I might need to check out Miso...I mean, lordy knows I watch enough TV! haha. Of course, GetGlue lets me check in on TV shows too.

[marshmallow.livejournal.com]

Hee! Added you on last.fm. :D

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

Nice! Accepted! :)

[hermionesparkle.livejournal.com]

Oh my gosh that is a lot of blogs! Bookmarking this so at some point I can check them all out. Adding you at last.fm. :)

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

Not sure if I got your friends request on last.fm...which username are you?

[hermionesparkle.livejournal.com]

silentnpale. It's showing up that you added me. :)

[sideflip1.livejournal.com]

holy crap that's a lot! haha i don't know how you keep up with everything - it amazes me. I still like last.fm but haven't been using it as much lately. I hard about Itunes Ping but haven't tried it, but now that you mention the part about using your real name, i'm less inclined.

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

I usually use last.fm when I'm just chillin at home and need some background noise. Found a few new people that way. I can't believe iTunes PING requires you to use your real name! So annoying, your full name too - "the name that appears on your billing information". No way.
