Just Molly’s Little Ramblings

How social are you really? I’ve probably signed up to 98% of the social networking, bookmarking and forums on the internet over the years but how much do I actually use them other then to add my lenses?  And I only use a small percentage of them to add them too as well.  Not much and that’s not good.  Most of them I haven’t even filled in the profile for pete’s sake.

Awhile back I found some lenses that had social bookmarking, networking and forum sites on such as lisadh’s lens on 97 Social Bookmarking Sites and Rajay’s lens on Top Ways To Promote Your Squidoo Lenses and then poddy’s has to go posting this User Name Check on Tagfoot and of course I just had to look and then I just had to find out where I was listed and just forgot about.   Then jeffryv has to go and make a submit it toolbar which, next to fluffy’s toolbar, is one of the best tools around.

But I ask you this, how in the world does anyone keep up with them?? How is my poor old peanut suppose to store all this information?  I can never figure out what to say on a profile cause I just don’t like to toot my own and quite honestly I’m not that exciting.  I’m not a “world traveler”, I’m not a “molly homemaker”, I’m not a “rocket scientist” and two things I’ve never liked to discuss with people is Religion and Politics……causes too many hurt feelings if you don’t agree with someone and I’m not a hurtful person by nature, I do have my own opinions but I just keep them to myself most of the time. I’m not a party animal by any means, my children are now adults with lives of their own but I don’t have grandkids yet.   Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not degrading myself in any way at all, I just look at myself honestly and see my pros and cons is all, I’m just me nothing special or spectacular, just a normal average middle-aged woman.  As for adding people to a network, it’s not that I’m not a social person cause I am once I get to know a person it’s just that I can’t initiate it.  I always feel like I’m intruding on people, so I sit on the sidelines and watch for the most part.  I never got into the “tweeting” thing, I’m just not impressed with it, I use to sit in a couple different chatrooms for hours and talk to people but that was years ago and they’ve since been long gone, sending “tweets” back and forth to people just is NOT the same thing  and I don’t find it useful at all, facebook is way too complicated to figure out as is MySpace but I have profiles on each site and why if I’m not gonna use them.  Now I know of a few lenses that show you how to make the most of it but I’m not a “techie” person so if unless it’s written in idiot terms, it’s just gonna confuse me more.  I’ve recently just found inkserotica’s lens on MyBlogLog and FeedCat just haven’t really had the time yet to go thru them but is there any more lens or sites that anyone’s aware of like them?  And just how social are people on these sites?

Ok I’m done my little rambling for the moment

Oh yea and on these bookmarking sites you’re on do you actually keep stuff organized?  Under folders or tags or whatever.  Such as here on Squidtop do you use “Categories”?  I’m trying to be more organized and more social…….but it’s just not working out too good cause I’m always either in such a hurry to get things done or I lose interest.  The attention span isn’t that good all the time….lol….
