Hi Ana "I feel the lack of an audience, tha'ts the reason I try new platforms" - that's so true - often I feel I'm writing to myself on my blog: http://davemiller.org
In fact I know I am! How sad ... still I find it useful way of recording my interests and ideas, though more goes into my notebooks (pen and paper) to be honest. Recently I started using Facebook again, as I was trying to promote a campaign - I found both facebook and twitter very useful for this - I did reach a lot of people. I hate becoming part of this corporate network, but it felt sort of ok using them just to promote something which isnt about me. I see marc uses Facebook for this. I know others who use it for bookmarking. Mark - I enjoy using Facebook to try out different persona - well, I did it for a while, I was a 28 year old French bloke. Nothing exciting or even interesting happened though, but it did confuse people, and hopefully messes up Facebook's data. dave On 15 July 2011 16:09, Ana Valdés <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Mark and thanks for an intelligent approach.
