I've spent the recent months fairly uninvolved in the social web. This wasn't so much a conscious decision, but perhaps an attempt to keep my signal-to-noise ratio as high as possible. Having taken stock of the direction of the distribution of social information, I've decided to try to join the "more is better" school of fish.

In my mind the primary division (though not an absolute one) in social content on the web is between creative (original content, analyses, etc.) and informational (status updates, links). I'm pretty much a lost cause on the first type; some of it takes more effort than my oft-tired brain will allow (this was nearly a much longer post about my thoughts on social content) and I question the relevance of my thoughts on a movie from 2004 that I just saw. In the latter, though, I have been far more conservative than my peers. And seeing as I find their nonces interesting, filtering my own to the degree I have seems less necessary. So with that liberation and my getting accustomed to the not-as-great-as-it-once-was Facebook, I may actually start to develop more of a web presence.

If past experience is any indicator, this will maybe last a month.
