A rant.
I have a facebook account. Which I use, more and more. Living out there in front of the world, in a glass brain.
And I have several other facebook accounts – set up, somehow, in ways I can't quite recall – linked to other email accounts. Because I have so many email accounts (jaredway@basicallywhateveryoucanthinkof). And facebook doesn't make it easy to de-link and/or kill those other accounts. I mean really kill them, as opposed to just "deactivate" them, which seems to mean basically nothing at all, except that you stop receiving email notifications.
It would be nice if facebook set things up so it would be easier to just link everything together. I mean… they do have some options in this domain, but only if you haven't already set things up in some other, unlinked, way. There's no "unsetup this clusterf엌" option. So… there are those other facebook identities out there, that I do nothing with, and try to pretend don't exist. But they murmur, cloyingly, in the back of my head sometimes.
And now, I've been doing some recreational adminning on my blog, and suddenly my blog has its own, separate facebook identity, too – as of today. Hmm. How is this going to work. How do I tell facebook that this CAVEAT DVMPTRVCK identity is really just another version of me? Where's the "yo – Zuckerberg, you freakin asshat – this is me" button?
At this rate, I could become a whole social network on my own, without ever interacting with another person. Hmm… I wonder how often this occurs, out there in the interwebs world? I'm going to "like" myself, sixteen ways to Sunday!
