Facebook will be the death of us all

Wow - since I started using Facebook on every device imaginable, I have seriously neglected this blog. I can't imagine that Google is happy about that, but microblogging is more fun than maintaining this, twitter, facebook, linkedin, and whatever other crap I have forgotten about.

I suppose it's time to start to "pick one" and go with it. But - here's the rationale for all of this:

Facebook: Just fun. I have run into people I hadn't seen in decades on FB. I don't farm, mafia or balloonwars or whatever else. No one but my friends can see my crap. It's my KIT tool... Also runs on my Blackberry and iPhone.

LinkedIn: My professional connections - but really not so much any more. Facebook has sort of supplanted this - IDK if that's good or bad...

Twitter: This keeps my rants and raves during races and Longhorns football games off of Facebook. You don't want to know how many times I run out of API calls during these events. By the way - I am "bevo_fan" on Twitter, and am at present open to all...

Blogger: Well, this blog was created here, and is stored here - but is ALSO on Facebook.

The question begs: Do I need Blogger or LinkedIn? I could argue that without my constant updates and new data, Google my revoke my gmail, latitude and voice accounts, but I'm pretty sure they won't. I'm just not that interesting.

How much of your life is online? Which of these idiotic time wasters do you use?
