I Suggest using this site’s RSS feed August 22, 2008 7:10 pm
UPDATE: I ended up baleeting all my posted items stuff and the feed. Sorry charlie! It’ll be on the DAPS site this week though (hopefully).
Because I post a lot of items on facebook’s “Posted Item” feature.
Some days I find 20 really cool things that I wanna share. I find facebook to be the easiest. (I never got into delicious, digg, or any other bookmarking site.) The personal feel of facebook really allows me to be comfortable sharing my findings. (Which all come from RSS feeds.)
For the past month I have been trying to pull my facebook posted items feed into this site, which is obviously wordpress. I tried a few Plugins, but facebook has a funny feed url or something. FeedWordpress is the one that finally worked.
Today, as stevie and porknbomb pointed out, I had a lot of posts today. BUuuuuuuuut they were mostly all from facebook. (except the cell phone pic, that came from flickr from my phone, and this post.)
I dunno if I like it.
I mean on one hand, it’s more posts, more stuff, more of what I do during my day.
On the other, it feels cheap, it feels rushed, it buries all the vids and pics and stuff i make.
Am I more important than the stuff I take pride in, or is the stuff I take pride in more important than me? Tough question.
I learned a lot about the internet today. I usually put more value in the exchange of information when on the internet. I tend to undervalue the actual person to person communication that really does happen in every exchange of information. Grrrrrrr I’m a robot again.

“Am I more important than the stuff I take pride in, or is the stuff I take pride in more important than me? Tough question.”
oh man, i think you have hit on one of the most important questions in the universe. esp for people like me, since the stuff i take pride in is not anything i actually produce. i want the credit for LIKING things. how ’slacker’ is that???
i was honestly unprepared for the onslaught of carlo in my google reader! i think it might take a while for me to decide if ur online existence is better in these multiple little pings or when you pop up once a week or so. my stuff tends to be longer, more thought-out, and therefore (probably) more than anyone’s attention span can handle. or my life is just boring. or both (all 3?). i really think it’s a question we all have to chew on as we enter this brave new universe.
in other news, as i’ll undoubtably be blogging in a day or two, i got an acknowledgement in my ex’s book! full name, motherfucker!! (then again, he also thanked U2…)

“i want the credit for LIKING things. how ’slacker’ is that???”
Is that really slacker though? Some really big name bloggers (read: the entire boing boing staff for example) just like things and blog it. And they end up with book deals or some shit. I came across a great article somewhere that says that you can get away with calling yourself an expert on whatever you like (provided you have the research to back it) and get gigs speaking about it and stuff. Crazy to think that someone may be willing to pay you to speak about fashion trends in hip-hop in the mid 90’s. (or whatever)
Basically, liking stuff is essential. If you liked nothing, you’d be a film critic.
I still haven’t decided about the facebook onslaught stuff yet. Because I do like it, but maybe this site isn’t the venue?
