Searching for a former clarity

Filed under: The Daily Grind — forbes @ 0:17

Prior to my previous post (now there’s an opening line), I shut down the feed from this website to Facebook. I can’t really explain why, just sending all that stuff automatically onto Facebook has always seemed to bother me a bit. A lack of control.

It’s not really security concerns, despite the often publicized concerns about what the owners of Facebook are going to do with so much demographic information on that crucial 20-something set. Of course, there are reports that even advertising through Facebook has not been effective.

I’m not naive enough to think that anything posted on the Internet is immune from being accessed, crawled or otherwise registered and indexed in some sort of global database. In the same breath, I’m just naive enough to continue to believe that the intent of that indexing is not malicious, simply merely business.

In the end, none of that matters. I shut down the feed to try to kick start myself. If writer’s block doesn’t exist, then I’ve had troubles with just the appetite for words. Both here and elsewhere. I’m searching for a former drive.
