well - I have more trouble shutting up than leaving extensive comments ;-)
My last school-reunion was this Saturday, and let's say I didn't go to too much trouble to get there - so when I 'unfortunately couldn't go', I wasn't too sad about it. I have never been to a school reunion btw - I don't really see the point. Except - maybe if it was high-school, there was some nice people there.
The two people I have re-connected with is worth it. :-) It's my best (and basically only) friend from Highschool, and a girl which I used to play with one weekend every year (and a couple of summer vacations) when my dad and her dad ran the same orienteering games. They ran for different districts (dad in the counties Akershus and Østfold, while her dad ran the games in the counties Hedemark and Oppland), so it was only that ONE big tournament each year that their orienteering club arranged, and dad's club always compeeted in, that we met each year. And then a couple of week longs summer tournaments in Sweeden (where ppl from all over the world compeeted.) I was so happy when she contacted me through FB a couple of weeks back, saying that she had thought about getting in touch with me again for a few years, and that she finally found me. It must be 20-25 years since we last saw each other.
Twitter just---- I like to TALK with people. Hell, I like to talk, period. And when I talk, I like to get response, for me a conversation is when one talk, the other talk back, and the first one response to that again. Back and forth. It's a beautiful thing! That just doesn't happen much on twitter - exacept from you, Sillie82 and Moviegeek.... but you are all on LJ as well.
I have a tumbl account - but I haven't really figured out how it works. I might be stupid... I just didn't see the use of that. I understand that I could put up my picts etc there to share - but well - again, I kind of like that respons that you can get, that I didn't se happen there. I didn't really figure out to give response to others either. I am sure you can, but I just didn't figure out any thing other than to 'like' a picture.
So for me, flicr became my place to share my pictures. Not than anyone comments there either, but at least I have more control, and I can display it better. And I am trying to figure out how to import my flicr photostream to my webpage (that I will make) at my domain bflyw.net that I bought a few years back, but haven't really used. It's typical - the webdesigner just can't make a website for herself.
But all scripts I have found so far is php, and I program in asp :-/ But I won't give up. Hey - maybe that should be my goal for today?
I can totally see the use for sockpuppet, and I have actually thought about it myself (for good use). But it doesn't take away the unease I feel not knowing if there migh hide another 'known' person behind that name.
