Virb has really blossomed

I am very impressed with the goodness of this site. Like this video is from Virb:



There are so many groups and people I want to befriend. There are some really great photos and videos. And since it is so new, I can just friend everyone without having to check them out like on myspace. I hate myspace.

ADD ME AS YOUR FRIEND ON VIRB!

I got Last.fm

The last.fm radio function was down this morning, so I switched to Pandora and I like it a lot more. I suggest you switch. Just like Macs over PCs, I am picking it because it is prettier, more functional, and easier to use.

Google is saving the internet

Orkut which has apparently been out for awhile is the most fun I have had online in a long time. I have too many websites. Seriously. I'm going to make an IILWY game about it.
Here is the thing: I have all the same friends on these sites. The whole point is to make new friends, right? (And promote myself! E-FAME here I come!) so I want me some new friends. I will accept basically any friends on anything except Facebook (where I have to actually know you).

New Things!

I am looking for a way to kind of link all my shit together. Facebook, Myspace, Virb, Blogger, Twitter, maybe IILWY. I'm not exactly sure how I could do that. Myspace I don't even use. I look at who had posted new blog stuff daily (mostly to see MC Chris' posts and band touring updates).
Facebook I use solely for people that sort of know me to keep up on what is going on. So they know I am alive, working, etc. Virb I am hoping will eventually replace Myspace for me, because it looks better and I enjoy it more and would prefer very much to trash shitty Murdoch-run Myspace. I love Blogger and Twitter.
i'm in like with you is getting a little boring. The same people are wanted by everyone and it becomes a kind of disturbing fight to get to the top of their list. The only people that bid on me are unappealing or already my contacts. I'm not sure how to rectify the situation. I mean, I think a lot of people get overlooked. I have a found number of profiles where the games ended at 0, but the game was cute and so was the guy. But I never saw it. I think the biggest problem is allowing people to list themselves as straight of gay. I guess, it isn't a problem. The people who limit themselves just have to understand that they aren't going to get seen. I'm really thinking on that though because I love the idea of flirting online and I have met really cool people through the site and I was happy when people were bidding on me. Maybe it is just because I have fallen out of favor.
Anyway, the point of this is that I got Tumblr. I KNOW! Another site, but this one combines my old ones. Hopefully, for the convenience of my readers. So far, it only combines this blog and Twitter. It just puts up the latest thing and if you're interested you can follow the link to more. I am hoping it will somehow work with all my things (except Myspace, which is the only thing I am actively trying to get rid of).
Finally, the company that makes Tumblr also makes a seemingly amazing product Senduit. I have a couple times lately needed to send files to a friend in Europe and this would have been a much easier way to do so. I have a feeling it will be shut down pretty quickly. I mean, this is perfect for illegal activity and honestly, that is all I have considered using it for.

**All the links at the top are to my page on the site. After that, it is links to the main page of the site.

No one has checked on me this morning

I think everyone forgot I work here. Whatever. As long as I get paid.
I decided to do a round-up of sites I actually read/use regularly.
I am planning a trip to gorgeous San Francisco and my favorite flight finding tools are SideStep and Farecast. SideStep is kind of like Travelocity or one of those sites in that it compares flight prices, but it compares them between the airlines and the discount sites so you get a more full picture of what is available. It is also nice looking and easy to use. Farecast is a neat little tool that predicts whether ticket prices are going to go up down or not change. So far, I have found it to be pretty accurate. It only works on major airports right now, but for a Tampa to San Francisco flight, it works fine and is very accurate.
I also like to read this blog. I think the rampant stealing of intellectual property on the internet poses an interesting issue. I generally agree with what the people on this site say. They are pretty levelheaded.
A friend of mine sent over this article about sex play on the internet.
I also thought I'd link to these oft-linked to items from Forbes. It is a list of inventions they wish would be invented . Some are dumb, some are really cool. But the whole plausibility thing is the most interesting.
I found this place which seemed really cool and fun. It makes me wish I had a more creative job. I mean, I use work time to be creative. Sometimes I write stories, plus my incessant blogging. Though I also use work time for the much less productive social networking aspect.
Speaking of that. I got a Virb account. My name on there is, of course, SylvieBean. I encourage everyone to get one before it gets all crowded and ugly like myspace.

Welp, it has been a few days

My work days have been filled with whiny posts in the real blog and cat macros (Google it if you don't know). But I have gathered some cool/cute/fun shit for you to look at.

THIS IS PORNOGRAPHY. Definitely not work safe and possibly not home safe. Don't click unless you want to see a half-naked girl pirate. I have been looking at lots of SG pictures and I even bought the bra you see here because some girl looked really cute in a similar one. (It is from Urban Outfitters. It is the cheaper one.)

Twitter hates me and won't post my updates. i'm in like with you is working out well once I got past the totally creeped out part.

I need someone to buy me one of these. I want a cat so badly. SO SO BADLY. But I need it to be hypoallergenic.

I found these suicide notes sad and interesting. I honestly wish there were more. I would have kept reading.

Ok. That's all for now.

Sorry. I really mean well

Fabulous Morning Five (we'll see if you're good. Maybe you'll get an afternoon 5):
1) Feist has a new album in case you hadn't noticed.
2) There are too many blog posts about how twitter is revolutionizing blogging. I am not even going to link to them. (this is what Google is for, kids. I'm not always going to be here to do this for you). I love Twitter, but seriously, blogging is my love.
3)Rory said no, but anyone as devoted to spoilers as I am saw it coming.
4) I love Savage Love, but I also like Ask Amy.
5) The Ten comes out in August and you should go see it. I saw it already and I am going to see it again in August.

If you are considering not reading Savage Love, you are wrong.
"One asshole relative managed to unravel your self-confidence, destroy your sex life, and turn you into a weepy bag of slop? Toughen the fuck up, IHMFIL. There's an anti-gay pogrom under way in Poland, homos are being executed in Iran, and gay men and women are being lynched in Jamaica. You've got one asshole relative and you're melting into a puddle? Please."

It has been awhile

And I have been all over the internet this morning.

I am looking for an invite to i'm in like with you.

This site is the epitome of cool. (And yes, when I read the word epitome, I pronounce it "ep-i-tOm" in my head)

I joined twitter and it is cool. You should join. Really. You should. Just try it out. Barack Obama has twitter and you don't. Now don't you feel uncool? You should. Read about it here. Also, the guy that made me fall in love with blogging for people other than myself Fimoculous wrote an article on twitter.
If you join, you must be my friend!

I was using facebook to post all this crap and then I remembered that I have this site and no one visits, but maybe they will IF I update occassionally with more than music videos. I got all nervous on facebook for awhile and took everything off my site and hid out for awhile, but I am opening it back up. What do I care? I LOVE attention.

One final thing, if you don't have gmail, get it. I will even invite you if you want to be all old skool about joining. But googletalk is awesome and I needs people to chat with me while I'm at work. Plus, if you're good I will send you cool pictures that I find on the internet while I am bored at work.
