capitulating…

*sigh*

myspace:
If I want to be connected to specific people, then I have to be where they are. They are scattered about here and there, which means I have to spread myself thinly to connect.

I have also rebuilt a Flickr account, mostly to not get closed out of photo links from folks on LiveJournal.

I don’t expect my photo contents on either of those to be anything more than superficial. There isn’t enough layout of content freedom at either one. I will stick with LJ’s scrapbook for photo-hosting. I have a good understand of gallery hierarchy when it comes to who can see what. It is how I like it.

So now, I seem to have the whole list. In this drive to be everywhere, I see in it the idea that having these profiles in all these places, with all these ‘friends’ listed all over, makes a person connected and popular and loved. That idea makes me sad, for it diminishes the power of content; the power of substance. In a sense, I feel I am caving in to superficial trends, but in this case, to stand on principles of content leaves me standing alone and alone rots. I want to be where the people are…
