It became blatantly obvious yesterday that this global community of Web 2.0 can have a psychological effect on one’s self-image. I enrolled in Orble yesterday to start putting some of Deadr’s stuff in his own blog and attempted to get a paid blogging position by submitting what I think are my two best posts. In the evening, I checked my account and clicked “My Friends” to find this message:
That’s not very nice. I have lots of friends. Who are they to say I’m a loser?
Sometimes I wonder if all these blogger services help you out or just thin you out…I suppose over time if they are still running they help your blog. I am finding I get about 60 hits a day but I believe that my blog looked too dark & put off ppl from staying to find out more. So i’ve gone for a lighter approach, which I can organise better…anyway enough of me, yes you have atleast 1 online friend.
One friend, do I hear two? Two friends?!
