Wow. I am on at least 25 social networking / opinion /
blogging / photo / mixer / job-hunting websites and apps… I absolutely cannot
keep up and I am unable to really track why I'm more popular on some platforms
(5,000 friends-limit on Facebook, less than 100 followers on Instagram).

I thought it would be a good idea to blog more, so I
rekindled my blogspot and warmed up the old data-entry digits, then I read
somewhere that blogs are old hat (even the word is passé) and Tumblr is the
wave of the future. I have a Tumblr account, but I have never used it. And so
now I'm thinking… should I?
There are so many choices out there and so many things that
will create a black-hole of time-sucking quicksand for those of us
(read: freelancers) who must rely on online connections in order to find and sustain
an income. I do dozens of things to keep afloat: from selling goods on eBay, to
professional writing, to directing webisodes. Nowadays, work and pleasure are inextricably
mixed and friends (virtual, and IRL) are employers and employees. I love this
life, but I sometimes find it overwhelming.
I ask myself… Should I clean slate everything? Should I just
shut down some accounts entirely so they're not lingering in the back of my
mind? What do I really need Instagram for? Should I use Instagram only for the
art and vintage clothes I'm selling on Etsy? Or should I get a cat [#catsofinstagram] and increase my followers that way?
What about this blog… Should I have posted all this on
Tumblr instead?
Never mind all this. I think I'll go out and talk to a person today!
