Me and Social Media (Part one)

I was up till a few months ago rather puzzled by this thing called Social Media. I had been to you tube, even joined so I could fav a really cool vid by klfly, he is a very clever Atheist Comedian, I recommend him. Very Funny.

I ended up subbing to others, and then leaving comments on videos of idiots and getting blocked, that was social media, apparently.

I had heard of Twitter, never been there, I had heard of Facebook, ended up there after google searches on occasion, but would never join. I like the anonymity of the internet, I like the fact no one can find me, if I sound like a miserable bastard, you may be right.

And as for this blog, I only started it because I thought I was way cool having the You Tube Channel AtheistKiwi and needed the blog to match.

Then that was about it for a few months, a couple of pointless blogs about the Bible and that’s it.

Then one Friday night, after a few beers and almost ready for bed, just checking youtube to see if this Christian person had replied with more pointless reasons to believe in god when I spotted in my subscriptions a video from Dusty, good vid maker Dusty. A lot of the time worth watching, so I watched. It was about Empire Avenue, wow, we could trade in each other. It was fun. A lot of fun, but if I wanted to do well I was going to have to become a social media person.

But I have stayed anonymous, why? Because I don’t want to be found. But, hey, I got to make friends with others, new people, a global community of like minded people.

I even started to twitter and joined face book. I have now started to flickr, which is great because I have thousands of photos to post.

So far I have about 50 new friends on Face book and 141 followers on Twitter and even my you tube subs has passed 20. And I have got to do something I really love, and that is write. I used to write a lot, I have journals full of crap. I read back sometimes, if I can cope with the cringe, I have tons of letters I wrote to my mother when I was travelling overseas, she lent them back to me a few months after I got back, I have been to chicken to read them. It’s been 20 plus years, I will get round to it one day, before the insects eat them.

Well that’s part one, I will write part two in the next few days, a bit rough, but hey, it’s about traffic and activity on Empire Ave.

Yay, another blog.
