Something To Write About

Remember that Poison song, Something To Believe In? That's what my title reminds me of. Then I'm reminded that I learned the story behind that song from watching Rock of Love. Then I feel ashamed. 

Then I'm reminded that this has nothing to do with that song. I don't what this has to do with. Maybe I'll just ramble.

I see that Facebook still hasn't updated the popular notes feature. Either that, or my note asking for questions has been the most popular note on the Utah State network for a month and Cameron G Copeland's semi entertaining uniqueness picture he found has actively been viewed for the past month. I don't see either of these happening. Therefore I conclude that the feature hasn't updated it's self since Nov. 15.

Back to my note where I asked for questions. Turns out I got two, maybe three questions. Not enough to do an entire note. So it looks like I'm going to have to to make up questions. I will still answer the real questions as well. Feel free to send in new questions too.

I'm going to answer one of the questions now, 'cause it bugs me too. Justin Hill asks, "Could you send me a message every time you write a note? That way I'll know when you write one and I don't have to guess."

Good question, Justin Hill. I am bothered by this also. On Myspace people could subscribe to your web log. Then every time you wrote a new one, your subscribers were notified. You do not have this capability with Facebook however. The closest thing Facebook has is that you can tag people in your note. Those you tag will be sent a notification that you tagged them in a note. Only problem is that this is semi time consuming on my end. Not to mention there is also a limit on how many people you can tag. I don't remember the exact number, but whatever it is two more people than that want to be notified whenever I write a new note. 

But to answer your question, Justin, the answer is no, with a qualifier. You will be notified of this note being posted, but only because I mentioned you in it, so you will be tagged. So unless you count on being mentioned in all my notes, something that just isn't plausible, you will not be notified when I post notes. 

So what are you to do, when you aren't mentioned in notes and what are others supposed to do when they aren't mentioned? 

The answer to that, is that you shouldn't have to be doing anything. You should already be checking my profile on a daily basis. With checking my profile everyday comes checking my mini-feed everyday. If you're doing that you will see when I write a new note, because it will tell you. 

So there is the answer to your question. You do nothing, absolutely nothing. I assume you and everyone else is already checking my profile everyday and reading my mini-feed ever day. That is all you need to do to know when I post new notes. 

That'll do

So until next time, keep on truckin', rocking in the free world and various other things of that nature.
