Neglected Social Sites

Maybe if I start a new paragraph that will help me stay on-topic. Yeah right. Social networks. I went into my Veoh account for the first time in several months and discovered somebody invited me to be on thier friends list. I don't know how long ago but I felt like somebody who went on a long vacation and came back to find a box of little skeletons in a box on your porch with a note that said " I know you'll take good care of them just like you promised". Maybe not the same level of neglect but I still feel bad about it. I forgot how many things I've signed up for and gave the account info only to come to the realization that it was incompatible or redundant or had some spyware factor about it, then as per usual-no way to delete it or they have a delete account button that when you click it gives you a popup excuse why it can't be done so there's all this flotsam and jetsam all over the internet that's about as polluted as any aspect of our natural environment and the prison guard called reality only appeared to be sleeping and unaware.
A little off topic-officially announced this time- I've been playing around with a program called camstudio which is an open source screen capture movie recorder that enables tutorials and presentations so I went to Veoh to upload it so that's what started the whole mess. I've been thinking about getting a webcam even though upon pain of death swore I would not 'stoop' to that percieved depth of conduct but I thought if I did a sticky post here and the other sites with a video greeting by me it wouldn't be earth shattering or anything but I wonder why it's not being done all that often here. I think it would add a new dimension to the blog and almost got one last month but bought yet another shoddy cellphone instead. I might get to it in May and if it turns out lousy or goes over like a lead balloon, well, the pile can take a few more things before it comes crashing down-I think.
