Technology It might be just me, but I’m starting to feel like the market is a bit saturated with social media at the moment. Everytime I want to do something, there’s multiple applications available on my phone where I can update everyone. For example:
- What am I currently doing? Twitter or Facebook
- What music am I listening to? GetGlue, Last.fm, Ping
- What am I watching on tv? GetGlue, Miso
- Where am I? Gowalla, FourSquare
- What did I just do on the toilet?
Ok, so I don’t have an app for the last one, but I’m sure (and as Apple constantly reminds us) “there’s an app for that”.
Don’t get me wrong, I love the interaction and sharing of it all. I would probably be the best unppaid twitter saleswoman alive (and if you’re interested in following me, my nickname is @kelsbells, oops – back to my post). Without twitter, I wouldn’t have met a number of amazing people I now call my friends, nor would I have been able to follow my sister’s recovery progress when she was involved in an accident. So it’s not a case of not seeing the benefits of each network, I do.
Perhaps my issue is that in this day and age there’s no “one” place to go to. If I want to see what my friends are listening to, or watching, or where they’re eating, I have to figure out what the latest app is that they’re updating. If I don’t stay up-to-date and use the same app as everyone else, then the whole existence of the social network is redundent isn’t it?
Have we reached a point where we have to ask ourselves:
What social media network is in fashion this week?
I was never one to follow a fad. Perhaps my problem is that I feel like I have to follow the crowd to get the information I desire? I don’t like this feeling.

A photo taken and edited entirely on my iPhone. I think it looks pretty cool actually!

Does anyone else think that our headlights on the garage door reminds them of the evil guy in the Sonic game? Maybe I just have a good imagination.

Health,
Random ramblings It’s currently 6.48am, and I’m writing this while I wait for my breakfast to cook. It seems like this is really the only time I’ve had to blog recently (other than the quick photo of the day posts). If it wasn’t for the fact that I am returning to riding my bike this morning, I would currently be on the cross trainer working out and therefore still not have the time to write a post. However, since I’m riding my bike today I thought I would give my knee a bit of a rest in the morning, just to make sure it’s at full strength for the ride.
You read correctly, by the way. Yes, I’m back to riding my bike.

I’m NOT a fan of this photo, but all the others for the day were a lot worse. Oh well, I had to have a photo for the day, so this is it!
The dogs are both chomping down on a treat I got for them from the local butcher. Note the branches everywhere from our dog Missy, she enjoys dragging them into the middle of the lawn!
