My Fellow Bloggers

2. OK, OK! I do not own a cat. Clearly if you don't post cat pictures you are chopped liver. Or Whiskas or something. On the other paw, I do pun. I enjoyed looking at what others have done. And I don't think I suffer so badly in comparison. EVEN IF NO ONE READS THIS!
Deep breath.
1. I enjoyed the solitary play. I am not sociable enough for 2.0 I fear. The parts I liked least were the interactions with people. The parts I liked best were playing with images and things. (Hmmm, could it be that? No, it's the !#$% cat pictures!) I know Ms Boule believes it is a generational thing - "you just wouldn't understand" - but I think at this end of 2.0 that learning styles and extro/introversion may be better predictors of comfort with the new technology. And time. When I got intrigued, hours just flew. And I don't have all that many hours left.
I really resented the need to keep joining/subscribing. I mean, I understand the business plan, but it is tiresome.
How was I affected? Well, there are plenty of online activities to pursue if I ever stop working.

I definitely don't think it's generational - I too enjoyed much of the work but I'm less likely to keep up with the multi-person interactive stuff - i.e. Facebook, Myspace! I've been reading your blog (not always commenting) and have truly enjoyed it - I hope you keep it going!!

Ugh, I agree with you that there are too many things that required subscriptions. You brought up an intriguing point about learning styles predicting comfort with 2.0 stuff, because my generation is supposed to be comfortable with technology, and I struggled through some of the 30 things.
