Post by: Dangelus on October 20, 2011, 02:02:15 AM
I know a few of you guys are on it. I just signed up to it yesterday.

Any thoughts?

I do enjoy the 'style' descriptions but I'm not quite sure how it came to the conclusion I'm an expert on "cheese sandwich".

Apparently, I don't share enough. Which makes a lot of sense. I read to keep informed, but I don't overshare at all. If I have something to say about something, I'll social network, but I guess I'm still of the mind that everything that happens in one's day isn't something that needs to ever be typed or discussed. It's a fine line with me. Important things are too personal to share with the 1000+ FB friends. And mundane things are too boring to share with anyone. Only the news fit to print

I've never heard of this. Does it actually involve doing anything or is it all based on web-sniffing around your social media interactons?

You score a 26 and are influential in "gadgets" according to Klout.

No surprise there then.

Yeah I'm totally the opposite there. I enjoy blogging daily about my life. I don't care if anyone reads it.. it's more a a diary for me. I love going back and reading stuff that happend months or years ago.  And of course being a podcaster of many podcast it's a great way to advertise and get the word out.

Hmm, ok, it says I'm influential about Eve Online, Playstation 3 and Games.  Well, glad they got the games right, but I never talk about the PS3 and Eve Online....well, ok, I guess I do talk about that, but not very often anymore.  So Idk where that PS3 comment comes from lol!

44 rating.  Huh

Interesting site though.
