Between setting up the blogs, playing the Myspace game Heroes, and tracking down alumni for band on Facebook and Myspace, I’ve spent a huge chunk of time on the social networking sites of the top tier. (If there are any alumni on secondary tiered social networks I will find you eventually.) Traditionally I have always held a strong hatred towards Myspace particularly. My most commented line about the site has been “Myspace, making the Web 2.0 looklike the web from 1996). Myspace has gotten better, but it is still downright ugly, clunky, and mostly a walled garden. I don’t like - and no recent usage hasn’t endeared me to it.
I now have about 8 pages of email communication in Myspace (2 pages in Facebook) - that I have no method of saving, archiving, and retaining. Do you know how much I hate that? I’m someone who wants to save all his data forever, and thanks to the walled garden scenario it’s trapped. Maybe I’ll get lucky and it will eventually be freed.
On the plus side my blog has been getting more hits, so I can’t complain about that. Exposure the whole yadda yadda about getting yourself out there, I’m doing it. I have been doing it for awhile but lately actually actively doing it.
We’ll see, maybe Myspace will still self impload and take out the west coast. If it takes out the whole west coast we will know never to make such a monstrosity again.

Some people may notice that on my lifestream page it has a new look and feel, it also has a whole lot more stuff in it. I’ve transitioned to a new lifestreaming plugin, previously I was using the “Simple Life” plugin. The new plugin is is called “Lifestream“. It allows me to put in more RSS feeds then I was previously able to with “Simple Life”, it also performs a daily digest post (which has allowed me to stop using the twitter plugin I used to use to pull in my digest of tweets). There is one bug with the digest posting in the fact that it does a double post.
For creeva.com this is easy to fix. I just go in each morning and remove the duplicate post. However the people feeling the sting are the ones that I crosspost to. There is absolutely no way I’m going to go everywhere my data replicates and track down and clean out the duplicate posts. I have been in contact with the plugin author and he is aware of the issue. He did some massive updating last night, let’s hope this got corrected. I was also kind enough to hide these daily posts from the front page of the blog. I didn’t want to make it seem that all I did was do daily updates of myself. I’m not that vane to broadcast on the front page of my blog. There is a link at the bottom of my lifestream to direct you to my lifestream archive.
The other thing to notice is the multitude of items. It makes me look like an internet posting maniac. Ok I am an Internet posting maniac, but not as much as my lifestream shows. I thought it apt to try to get information on where my stuff is being posted and pull in the RSS feeds from here. This will allow readers to see everywhere I crosspost to how frequently they are updated.
We’ll see if this is the magic bullet for my life vaulting.
