Cleaning up my online life
Twitter account: deleted
Friendfeed: removed all services, for now I’ll just ignore friend requests since I’m not publishing anything.
Flickr: all photos are friends only, removed some contacts.
Facebook: profile is still there, but made use of their new privacy settings (unchecked everything) and heavy use of the limited profile. Facebook only serves as a rolodex for me, and I don’t use it otherwise.
This blog: I guess it’ll stay for now, I haven’t made up my mind if it should survive.
Google Reader: Removing ~30 feeds, will try to regularly remove feeds that I’m not reading.
Why?: I’m not really sure, but let’s see if it cuts down on time wasted online. I don’t imagine that you (my friends) will care since I rarely use any service except Flickr, and all of you have access to those photos.

You’re my hero. God bless.
(Should drop the Flickr widget from the blog template too since it is all broke now.)

So is this perhaps the dreaded google silence setting in? You join and then all of your blogging and identity production for the outside world ends?

Whilst the addiction is strong, I totally agree. Cutting the ties to soooo many sites is the first step in regaining life within the REAL world. I too will be taking this track. Soon.
