Digital New Year’s Resolutions

For part of my (digital) New Year’s Resolutions this year, I decided to delete my accounts on social media services that I don’t use. (Although I would love to cut Facebook, that’s probably not going to happen.) I love trying out new social media goodies, but it’s impossible for me to keep up with all of them. So over the course of the year I am going to try and use the services I belong to, and if I don’t, they’re getting cut.
First on the list and certainly, definitely cut, is dailybooth, which I never use, find sort of narcissistic, and is pretty much just full of teenage cam whores and amateur porn (although really, what else would you expect). The rest of the list is, so far:
  1. dailybooth
  2. flickr
  3. picplz
  4. foursquare
  5. posterous
  6. flavors.me
  7. google+
  8. readernaut
  9. goodreads
  10. linkedin

Excuse Me?


I’m sorry, what? Someone clearly thought they could lie their way outta this one…

Kellogg’s vice president of nutrition Lisa Sutherland told NPR that Honey Smacks are not marketed to kids and are "seldom eaten by them."

Not marketed to kids? That would explain Dig’Em, the cereal’s cartoon frog mascot with the funky sideways baseball cap.

No, wait. The opposite.
