What is on your mind?

Have you ever considered writing your own blog, but didn’t think that you would have enough to write about to make it worth anyone’s while? Have you become disillusioned with social media sites like Facebook? Have people on Facebook written nasty comments to you in response to you voicing your thoughts? I know I have been quite upset over the number of people on Facebook that take great delight in “trolling” other people. I really don’t think that was the original intent of a social media platform, do you?

The people at the On My Mind Daily website must have gotten tired of the social media trolling, too. I think that is why they decided to create their website. Their website allows people to vent, or express their thoughts and opinions, without having to sign up for an intrusive Social Media account, and without having to create their own blog. I was looking at their website a few minutes ago, and read a few of the posts that they have on their current home page.

As I was reading the article, I started to think about how many times I have wanted to “sound-off” about something, but did not want to put it on Facebook, or here, on my blog because I did not want to deal with being blacklisted, or trolled. I think I just MIGHT actually contribute an article or two, myself!

Social Media Site Fanatic

I’ve been using Facebook for a long time and it helps to keep track of the great folks I’ve met online and also to socialize with family members who I rarely get to see, as we are scattered all over the United States and Europe. I do believe however, that I created a FB fanatic when I taught my sister how to use the site. I had to also walk her though how to use her brand new little lap top, and I don’t think she has been off it since she got it and I helped her set it up. Kicker is, I only know the basics but it was enough for her to start hitting the various social media sites and loving them. Now I have to start thinking about things we can do together so she will not let the computer consume so much of her time. I’m seriously thinking that it’s time to take a road cruise and see where it takes us, like we used to do.

Yep, I’m going to be working on this since my dear sister needs to get a non computerized life! LOL!
