I read blogs for a living

Ah, the "I've got a million friends on Facebook, two million on MySpace, write blog posts three times a day, update my Twitter profile every five minutes, yet have a full time job and am a great mother to my 6 home-schooled kids" syndrome.

No-one real can keep up with so many sites. I'm addicted to the web and I only use this site and Wordpress, with the Wordpress one being mainly a back-up of the decent posts I've made here. I host the images I use in my blog elsewhere but don't get involved in the social aspect of that.

I guess the social web is kind of like high school. You can learn a lot, but nobody's there for that. We're here to build relationships with people - some of us want to build up some close friends, others want to feel popular by thinking everyone they've ever come in contact with is a dear friend (Facebook Fever) who absolutely has to know everything they ever do. Each type finds their own way rewarding and usually wonders what the hell the others are thinking by acting the way they do. Yeah, just like high school but with more women who want to think they're elegant cats and more guys who like to think they're rampaging wolves.

same here,

sometimes I wonder if people with so many active sites are not only addicted but they want "to belong"
something that in their real life are not able to achieve.
Every site needs time and that time
is taken away from their family,
when they pretend to be "there" for their kids,
as the above mother claims,
they fool themselves only,
we all know the reality.
I post daily on Opera and I find that the bond I developed with my loyal readers is priceless and worth the time and efford.

A lot of people want to belong to something, true. Also a lot of people don't want to make the effort it takes to be a part of something. It's kind of like religion in that aspect. A place to hang out where you can meet like-minded people and not have to have them in your home. The majority of people who go to church (in this country at least) are in it for the social aspect rather than the religious side of it. Then they realise that's not for them and come here sending me messages about how I'm going to hell for statements like that. A lot of people do have multiple profiles because they're looking for the right place for them and most sites don't let you shut down a username. Some have them so they can keep up with friends who've found the right place for them.

The mother I mentioned can be found all over the web to different degrees. She loves her kids and does everything for them constantly. We know that because she's constantly talking about it online 24/7. Yeah, slight problem there eh? My girl and I found this place when we were living in a hell town where we didn't actually want to socialise with any of the drugged up residents. This became our social hangout and a hobby we could share. We've had some ups and downs here, but we keep to the rule that real life comes first. It's a simple idea but so hard for people to carry out all the time. I've already burned one dinner by getting lost in my watchlist.

hmmmmmmmmm should I open another can of worms here?
why somehow I also find,
people that go to church more often,
have more profiles in numerous sites?
They are also
the ones that need to confess more often too?
And when I say NEED I really mean it.
I am only spiritual nor religious but
I know if I go to hell ,
(a believe we live our hell or heaven in our life times only),
but if I will,
all my friends will be there too.

There is a line btwn "Socializing" on line and "being lost" in it,
the net is a black hole
and the more one spreads profiles in it,
the deeper in the hole he/she gets.

As for moms that glorify themselves on line 24/7
about their "motherly skills" to their kids,
they are usually also the ones that have kids (according to the statistics) not doing good in school/High School Drop outs
and with early addictions to drugs and alcohol.

Family time is not just playing games on line together,
it is sharing concerns and feelings.

Socializing starts at home and if each and every one is just
in frond of a screen sending msgs to each other via FaceBook / Twitter and
what ever,
then no church can save their family from a down fall..


" I've already burned one dinner by getting lost in my watchlist. "

one is nothing! Pad yourself on the back ,
at least you are not one of the housewives that copy and pastes
pictures of cakes and more on line,
claiming they did them in their 24/7 on line confessions

I have a profile on myspace, facebook, bebo, twitter, and here on my.opera. I have only like 10 friends on each. I update my status with ping.fm and that is about it. If someone sends me a message or comments on my status then I get an email on my blackberry, and most of the time reply from my phone unless I'm at a computer. I am rarely ever on the actual sites.

lets see; facebook, twitter and MyO thats it

fb is just for highschool and college friend

I think some know how long on am on MyO, but compaired to Tamil hard to beat

Your entire identity in every aspect, your profile and complete login can be remove from my.opera. You just have to ask, and they shall delete it.

That cant happen in most other free blog and wap, web host. - those are called hotels california once registered ! You have contributed to THEIR

MAIN STATEMENT]

WHICH IS JOIN OUR 500.000.000
MILLION REGISTERED USER'S/MEMBERS

WHEN YOU DELETE YOURSELF, THAT FIGURE STAYS THE SAME!!

but whats my perpose here

?

Opera don't delete profiles here.

Sorry Mik! If you request it they will#

i have an old e-mail stored, and in a heated debate/arguement /whatever/?
I stated to an opera moderator controller - that maybe i should shut my blog.. "
reply was.. Just click and send a blank reply and you will be bye gone's !

I realized that i had been nasty and rude in my frustrations on that case. So i archived the mail


but true , true #

Things have changed. You joined here in 2007 according to your profile. They even changed names for members back then. Thing is, stuff like that interferes with the running of a site so they stopped doing things like that.

A little while ago (couple of months at most) someone was flooding the forums out. A quick look at his profile was all it took to see him threatening legal action against Opera because they wouldn't close his account, hence him acting like a 3 year old and throwing a paddy in an attempt to close it. Personally I'd have changed the password on the account, put a load of gay porn photos in his albums and put his e-mail address public so forum members could get revenge, but I'm not a mod here.

He hee.. U funny Mik

they should make you a moderator!



should i press that lethal reply button that contains A DISTAster command




then come crying back

Naah..

I believe you.


im just back to find a cool lady freind..

but then i might get divorced for the 3rd time!

i live for my kids ;star:

blah blah blah

I stand corrected.

I can change my username? Wow! That's awesome. How do I do it?

You send Espen 33 messages a day saying "Please please please" then make a new name when he gets fed-up and bans you.

... Errmm...

Twitter in space

You've gotta admit, it'd work. I'd be right behind you looking for a new username for suggesting it, but them's the breaks.

Ooh, I see.

Nah, the boss man's fun. He'd just ban me if you did that. I'd have to paint up his miniatures before he let me back, and it's a long way to Norway.

Hey MIK ! Do you believe me about the e-mail i have ?
_ - with~ "delete my account by simply pressing reply" i received it on close to 4 months back - when i got frustrated trying to log in.

Never didn't believe you about the e-mail dude. I was just under the impression that things had changed. My mistake, just the format has changed.

Cool

I spend about eight hours or more a day on My Opera and I still can't get through my watchlist. .
I do not have time for even more social networks. Hell, I don't even get time to do a daily blog. .
I've got no family, (siblings don't count) and finding people in my area capable of chatting about anything other than local gossip is unlikely. .
What was this post about again? *scrolls up to re-read the post*
Ah yes, the net is getting somewhat top heavy with social sites now, isn't it? .

And i use a range of phones! I concerntrate on making downloads available for the man on the street. So im here now playing with an old nok about 6680
