This is spam

If you choose to read it, you obviously follow my blog and are interested.

I'm not. I'm not interested in a lot of things. I write here random shpluff, that's what it is, shpluff, and on ANY website, ANY social networking thing or any forum, that is, who I am and what I do. It is my blog, and my life, I am not writing it to be judged or praised or anything, it's just shpluff.

And that is how I perceive your blog, too. Here is a page on the internet with things you are interested in, or feel passionate about. I might be interested, it might be meaningful to me and my little life, but overall, I am not bothered by what you post, it is different on all social networks though.

Facebook. I added you because you're a friend, I met you, you added me, or I think your fit. (And what comes of the last one, well, it depends) But because facebook is very social, and everyone can see what I do, I do not complain, or whine, or moan, not at all. I go on there, mostly, to talk to a small fraction of the 700 or so friends I have, I would talk to any one of them, but then again, the people I talk to on facebook are my friends IRL, the other reems and reems of my acquaintances probably don't see the babble that gets chucked on there.

Then, on Blogspot. I know quite a few of my friends on facebook read it, and quite a few of my followers on twitter read it, especially if I spam the link. The people that follow it, usually follow it, because they have their own blog, and I know them IRL. It isn't like a load of scary men asking follow for follow (ahem livemocha), I know full well who will read this, and probably their reactions, too.

Twitter. Twitter works in two ways. One at a time, or both. You either post whatever the f*** you want, or you act as if you have an audience. Some accounts are 'famous' just because they play heavily on those rules. Accounts for 'teen quotes' 'God quotes' 'funny tweets' all have a specific audience, and I don't follow them, because they annoy me, so please stop retweeting them and sabotaging my quote-free timeline. Half the time they aren't even quotes. Not the point. Twitter, is mainly about what YOU put, not what others put, I'd say it's 70% about what you tweet, rather than what you recieve (30% obviously). Thou art the king of thine twitter kindgom. That is how twitter should be used, I think. You tweet what you like, and people either like it or they don't.

Tumblr, is the opposite. You post shit, but come on, you mostly REBLOG it, it's all about who you follow, and what they reblog. Of course, there was some originality. But Tumblr is confusing to some people, and I shouldn't really try and explain it, precisely because, it is what you make it. You follow the accounts on tumblr that post/reblog shpluff that appeals to your shpluff. There are people on there, who agree with you on everything. You've just got to find them! See, I made friends with a tumblr person (who barely posts anything except for gifs of Moriarty) but we have okay interests. Just follow people with stuff that makes you think, hey, that's my shpluff there, I think I want it on my tumblr page.

I barely use mine, or other people's tumblr pages on tumblr. I just scroll down the dash. Kind of like facebook profiles and scrolling down the homepage for people who don't have tumblr. Except anything you find on the homepage you can re-post and have it on your profile. There are people on tumblr who are completely different to you. Tumblr is, really, what you make it, the same with most online spaces. You don't like someone/something they said/something they posted. Get rid of them, ignore them, whatever.

I don't understand a lot of all this falling outs over social media, especially on twitter and tumblr. Those two are completely user generated and it doesn't matter if you know somebody IRL or not, like their stuff, follow it.

I'm not saying if someone's using it as a bullying tool to not report it, you can report stuff. But really, honestly. Control your shpluff, God knows we have to suffer with it everyday in the real world, here are online places where you can sit at another table and each one is as popular as the next.

I like my shpluff, you should do the same.

Afterall, ignorance is bliss, and you can be as ignorant as you want.
