Where everyone goes but nobody knows your name

This is a photo from Great Lakes Medieval Faire from 2007.  Funny, a couple of years after that everybody that we knew was singing the praises of this little faire.  Apparently we were ahead of the curve. Even with difficulties, they're advertising for 2012.  Maybe they'll keep afloat.

I'm going somewhere with this.

I remember the old days of Yahoo 360.  I remember when they abruptly shut it down.  Everybody was going to Facebook (which I had been on a couple of years already) and Twitter and it seemed everything was "sum up your life in 50 characters or less".  So Yahoo canned it.  I'm certain there were other reasons but still I cannot help but think if they had held on a couple of years longer, they would see what we're seeing now:  the reappearance of The Blog.  People have found that to share a fast snippit with everyone may not be as satisfying as sharing a moment in time with a few.  Better to have a visit with friends that a quick howdy to strangers.  Nice to go where everyone knew you.

Of course Harold knew that all along.

Now the kool kids are wandering over to wordpress (a blog I've had for many years - and found that the site wasn't that user friendly) but I think I'll just stay here in familiar surroundings.  Harold is predicting that we will be more to sharing your blog via multiple social media outlets.  I've not quite decided about that.  Then again, he often thinks about this One.Big.Site that will host anything you want from any platform you want so just go one place.

Or maybe he's just being silly.

Meanwhile, I'm obviously here - at the confusing name of Anonymous Spaghetti, and if you wander through Live Journal, you can send me an invite (or comment here and I'll find you) and I believe that's that.  Live Journal is where I share the things that really aren't for public consumption.  I may cross post this blog but LJ will NEVER be crossposted.  It holds too many secrets and too much pain.

So for now, supper is cooking and we shall see if Harold's predictions come to pass or not.

it certainly wouldn't be the first time.
