Twitter

I had a Twitter account, used it (badly)
(Sporadically)

In truth I had no idea what I was doing.  I had Followers.
I was Following.

I think I RT'd once.
HashTag

Come on, let's face it - I had NO idea.

So I deleted/deactivated my account.
But then I thought - I'm missing out on a chunk of InfoBites here.  I'm not getting as much inane drivel as I was used to.

So, I'm resurrected

Spring Clean

OK, It's not spring anymore, it's summer - not that you can tell from the fog, drizzle and chilly wind driven rain - but as far as the date is concerned, it's the first week of summer.
So, spring cleaning - I looked at my virtual world and decided it was far too cluttered!

I did that thing you're meant to do with your possessions and clothing.  Have I used/worn this in the last 6 months/year?  No?  Bin It!

LinkedIn?  Gone. Deleted.
Twitter?  Ditto.
Various email addresses (wow! so much junk accumulates when accounts not touched for months) now deleted.

Extra Facebook profiles - Gone!  (Sorry to see you go...  Really??  Hardly Old Son!)

My Virtual Alter Egos have been purged, and now I feel decidedly uncluttered.  Suddenly my smartphone Hub app has 3 entries instead of 7.  I'm sure servers all over the world are breathing a collective sigh of relief as tons of spam gets erased from dormant accounts.

My security must be tighter too now.  Facebook and three email accounts - Gmail, Ymail and Live
(Just in case - you never know when you might need one of the Big 3!) - so much easier to keep track of!  And with the recent LinkedIn password hack scare, perhaps that's not a bad thing?

So Thank You spring, for the inspiration to simplify my e-Life.  I feel positively tidier!
