There's something amiss when one-liners start becoming the only posts I might see on my Pownce feed every other day now. I'm getting pretty frustrated with people trying to integrate all of their micro-blogging profiles to make it easier for themselves to cross-post. The whole point of the various services are that they have unique ways (for the most part) to display and update your information.

Different types of information are starting to cross-pollinate across the following web services and are seriously having me consider pulling myself out of Pownce because of it.

Twitter is the very example of micro-blogging with its simple RSS accessible feeds for its users. It's fairly easy to get involved with others through @replies (where one posts the at symbol before a username somewhere in the post to get the attention of another user) and their simple social networking scheme.

Pownce is a richer Twitter in many ways that notes can be threaded as well as specialized notes that may have events (complete with iCal event formatting), links to other websites, and even the ability to upload files to your profile to share with your friends. The lack of RSS feeds in Pownce may throw off the Twitterholic and tumblr users, but for bloggers and casual Internet people, Pownce may be the choice for them.

I just wish they would all keep themselves seperate and not cross back and forth over each other with websites like helltxt.com and so on.

Well, it seems that Pownce is not loading for me. I guess Pownce is down.

This is rather depressing. I don't want to fill my Vox up with microblogs: that's what Vox is for.

Hey, Vox.

Don't worry, I'm not going to move to WordPress' online blog hosting again. I enjoy you so much. You're such a great platform for serving and publishing my thoughts when they just so happen to be longer than one-hundred-sixty characters or so. For those moments when I cannot bring myself to voice my feelings or condense the thoughts to the barebones on my status, you are there and you always serve up what I give you to publish.

Don't be jealous because I've been to college lately. Yeah, it's only community college, but it's better than nothing. I'm working towards an actual goal--an Associates in Engineering--and I'm happy for the stress it's given my life. I think it has really been the finger int he dam of escaping energy that I have been misusing for these last two years. I wish I could have fixed my situation sooner, but I think that sometimes life simply serves up a new variety in spite of the variousness (and since that probably isn't a word, forgive me) that it already offers.

Don't be jealous that I am in the defining relationship of my life, and that I am happy no matter how things may be one day to the next. That I'm happy at least seeing her smile and that I have a chance to make her mine for the rest of my life. I know it's not been long enough with regards to a traditional relationship, but the feelings just click with her. Whether I misfire with the way that I mean things or the way that they come out, I know that deeper than those failures that an understanding exists between us, and that any misunderstanding will not last forever.

Don't be alarmed because of all the physical wrenching that the stress puts on my body, especially my shoulders--rather, be understanding that while my body is the weakest link in my physical experience, I know that it will not always be like that.

Looking back at what I just wrote, it's sort of amusing to think that I had merely just ranted my way on with the rest of this entry with my eyes closed, touch typing at the keyboard. I just think the thought in my head and then figure out the correct way to type it into the text box, and in the next instant it would appear to have brought my ideas to you, Vox.

Don't worry, Vox. I won't forget you.

Here is a video that I made earlier this afternoon regarding my lack in previous vidoes from the week before. I had only posted links to these on Pownce, but I think I might also start cross-posting these videos to my Vox. I know it's not the greatest use for the text-centeterd blogging service that is Vox, but Vox does integrate into other forms of social multimedia services such as YouTube.

I picked YouTube because I was always curious at how others started their own personal representation of themselves on YouTube with respect to how they would have conducted themselves, how they might post a rather informal message to people, or even begin recording responses to all of the videos that they saw on the website's constantly evolving index.

Perhaps it won't turn out to be a bad move. If there are any cooler sources to host, record and aggragate your own video from as USB connected webcam, please message me on Vox or through Pownce!

Until then, take care Vox. I really do miss you.
