Embracing Technology

I’ve been resisting this for a while now, but it seems like my defenses are starting to wear thin. I think that I am finally going to break down and create a MySpace page.

Back when the initial Friendster and MySpace page craze hit, I declined any participation on the basis that I was looking to avoid contact with a certain element of people that I had been exposed to in the past and who you could say existed on the outer fringes of my social circle.

My thinking was that I didn’t want these people knowing anything at all about my life, and though it was bad enough that they continued (to some extent) to inquire from my friends as to what I was up to, I didn’t think I needed to facilitate this task and provide all the information they were seeking with the few clicks of a mouse.

Eventually, however, I felt that there was enough distance between me and said element (both literally and figuratively as my move across country came) and I relented to sign up here at Friendster so that I could hopefully utilize one more tool at my disposal thanks to the wonders to technology in order to try and keep up with the group of people who I still wanted in my life.

Now, I believe I’ve reached a point where the only people who would care to check out what was going on in my life (as much as one can on either Friendster or MySpace) are the people who I care about and vice versa, as well as complete strangers…which is exactly how these things should be.

And so, after some soul searching I believe it is time to add a MySpace page to part of my online existence. I think that if all my friends were on Friendster this would be a non-issue, however, there are in fact a portion of people i know who only belong to MySpace. And so we exist together but in a state of disconnect here on the social pages of the internet, and so I look to once again bridge the technological space that keeps us apart.

MySpace here I come.
