In lieu of my discovery of Google + about a month ago, I haven't been on Facebook very much lately. The TSN (Treasured Social Network) Turning Point occurred for me when I discovered the power of Google + Circles. This happened a few weeks ago when someone I was following offered to share three-hundred people in his "Gaming" Circle with me.
Okay, lemme get this straight: if I agree to do this I'll immediately be connected with over three-hundred like-minded people who might actually be predisposed to what I'm writing about and (better yet) will post cool stuff that I have a vested interest in reading? Hells yes, where do I sign up?
Which brings me back to the Bookface. Yeah, I still think it's a great tool to keep in touch with extended family members or people you hung around with in Grade Six. But you also end up wading through a lot of posts and updates that end up revealing just how little you have in common with most of these people.
And trust me, I know this road goes both ways. I'm willing to wager that about 83% of my Facebook friends don't give a rat's ass that I just reviewed some dreadful Reefer Madness style T.V. movie about role-playing games.
So, I've come up with a little quiz just to save all of us a bit of time. Without further ado here's:
