If only there were a fannish Facebook.
Mar. 13th, 2009 10:13 amStatus updates I would have posted to a fannish Facebook over the past couple of days:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lakeeffectgirl suggested Twitter as a platform for this, but I think I need a specifically fannish thing. I did post my thoughts about 2009 Fandom Steel Cage Match March Madness (and you can watch the community for future years: ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
f_march_madness) as Facebook status updates, but the other things, well, maybe not so appropriate for a venue where my audience includes such folks as my mother, my teenage cousins, and a handful of ex-coworkers.
I'm also skeptical about Twitter, which probably means I'll end up using it in the near future. Here's what bothers me most about it: I already have LJ and Facebook that I load and reload eighty bajillion times a day; do I really need one more such thing? I also don't have a cell phone, so updating via texting is not a feature that I would have much use for. To let you know how lame and old-school I really am: for the one person I am following on Twitter (Steve Carlson, because this has the potential to be both hilarious and awful, although so far it's mostly boring), I created an LJ feed for it (scarlsontwitter) so I can just read it on my friends page. (I would do this with the two other people I'd like to follow, but their Twitter feeds [updates? What's the proper terminology here?] are protected, so I can't.)
- Ruth is looking at naked pictures of David Boreanaz's wife.
- Ruth would like Chris and Steve to stop standing around and get in bed.
- Ruth worries that her space AU needs a plot.
- Ruth finds Dave and Jaime adorable, plus Dave's wearing Chris's shirt: http://www.jamd.com/image/g/3152108
- Ruth's bracket says Dean, but her heart says Barney.
