Week 4 - Social Networking: part two

I don't have a Myspace Page. I started to sign up for it but decided against it. I don't feel I have the space in my life for a Myspace page. I mean, I have my Facebook page and I feel that is enough for me for now.

I have been wanting to set up a Myspace page for a while but I feel a need a good moniker first. I notice that a lot of people have a moniker. I have a DJ friend who uses Myspace under the guise of Bro 90. Sometimes when he DJs he is just simply 90 and other times he is Nyntee.

I get moniker envy just thinking about it.

When I get a good moniker I might join the Myspace community ... but in the back of my mind I just feel like that one thing too many to do in my lfe.

Do other people feel that having a Facebook page and a Myspace page is excessive or is that just me? Does anyone else out there feel they need to rename themselves first before they venture onto Myspace?

I wonder if these questions plague me only because:
  • I am a librarian (ok I've admitted it)
  • I am currently going through a 1/3rd life crisis.

I am reminded that a guy I used to work with at a Medical Library entered into an epitaph comptetition on National Radio (and subsequently had it published in a book). It was an epitaph for Bill Clinton who was then still the President. The epitaph as I remember it was:

Here lies Bill Clinton. Willy will forever be your moniker.

  1. Your posts always crack me up...in a good way and I usually think along the same lines. It's too much of a questionably good thing all this social networking. Where is there real time for my space if we keep subscribing to things like 'My Space'?
