I’ve cancelled my Bebo<\/a> account (for those unfamiliar with Bebo, it’s similar to MySpace<\/a>). Unfortunately, for the past several months, I’ve received far too many spam messages that I just have to go in\u00a0and delete. I also found that I rarely used the service after the first few weeks once I set it up. That said, I would have stayed on if not for the spam\u2014especially the aggravating porno comments mass-sent via cell phone\u2014because I loved the template that I found to showcase my profile and books. But the spam wasn’t worth it. So, to my bona fide Bebo friends,\u00a0bye-bye!\u00a0If you want to find me on a social networking site, I’m still on MySpace<\/a> and intend to stay there. I’m also on Goodreads <\/a>and Shelfari<\/a>, although I’m thinking of losing Shelfari, too. Adding books there is a PITA. For some reason, the program runs slow on my computer. I don’t have that problem with Goodreads.<\/p>\n

I’ve never joined Facebook, for example, because I’m already on MySpace and I don’t want to set myself up for another Bebo experience. For those on Facebook, would you recommend it? How about Twitter?<\/p>\n

Gah, I’ve just let go of Bebo! Do I really want to saddle myself with another social network? Right now I feel social-networked up the whazoo. I need and want to focus on my writing for the next several months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
