The Ink-Pot and the Palette

I use Dreamwidth, Tumblr and Twitter which are all connected to jumpuphigh. I bailed on Facebook (despite enjoying it) due to privacy concerns. I'm not going with G+ because I think that Google has embraced "Do Be Evil" as their new motto.

However, I use each service for different things. Dreamwidth is for lengthy thoughts and making interactive connections. Tumblr is for posting pictures and I expect it will fall away once that has been integrated into DW. Twitter is for quick thoughts, short questions to friends (I often use it like text messaging), and sharing links. I loved having a separate real name space on FB but couldn't ignore their behaviour any longer but if another service comes up that I can trust (not Google), I think I would create that separate identity space once more.

tl;dr Every service I use has its own purpose and for the most part cannot be replaced by another.
