Maybe you already knew this, but my friends and I build things on the internet. The thing about building things here is that you really need to be comfortable with the place if you hope to make a go of it.
So, in addition to all the building my world requires, I find myself blogging, twittering, bookmarking, uploading, friending, commenting, rating, sharing, tagging, and writing on your wall. All in the name of getting comfortable with the place.
I’m okay with all this, except I suck at it.
Even if I could convince myself that it was worth the effort of staying properly plugged in to each and every network that I play in, I’d still have to contend with sporadic bouts of boredom. You see, sometimes I just don’t feel like sharing my bookmarks or logging in to the facebook. Maybe it’s more fun to comment on your flickr photos this week. There are so many choices.
I know what you’re thinking. Aaron must not have any friends with that kind of attitude. And you’re probably right. My internet priorities just aren’t what they used to be. Maybe it’s time to subscribe to Chris Brogan.
Until I get this figured out, though, I was thinking maybe I’d try some real life networking, moo cards and all. October 3-4 is Webmaster Jam Session. (Find me on dopplr if you’re planning to make it.) I’m all ears if you’ve got other recommendations. Especially in places where sun shines.
Okay, thanks for listening. Oh, and by the way, feel free to submit any top 10 minding your grid lists you find particularly helpful. I find those things very inspiring.
