Updating Facebook, the horror
Quite a while ago now, I idly decided to connect my Twitter account to my Facebook account. No harm in that is there, I thought.
That done, I forgot about it. I post to Twitter all the time, but very very rarely bother to visit Facebook.
I also forgot about the Twitter connection. But my Facebook contacts didn't forget. They've been seeing my every Twitter post ever since, and, because they are mostly old friends and family members and not Twitter users, they've been thinking that I SPEND ALL MY TIME UPDATING MY FACEBOOK STATUS.
And that's terrifying. I don't want people to think I spend all day looking at Facebook.
Why don't I? Why do I mind them thinking that, but I don't mind them thinking I spend all day on Twitter? It's odd. I think it's because ordinary people think people who post on Facebook all the time are nuts. And ought to be using their time more constructively.
I have now disconnected my Twitterings from my Facebookings. Perhaps some of my Facebook buddies will notice and wonder why I'm not posting much there any more; the truth is, I was never intending to post there in the first place.
