The Current Connections
Social media, I stumbled across an old link to MySpace in my archives. I clicked through and it 404’d. The media producers at the shop in Austin also asked for all of my social media contacts.
The Current Connections
Mailing List | amazon &c.
pinterest | Blue Sky
IG: @KramerW | FB: astrofish.net
mastodon, &c. | link’d | @KramerW
Of those, the most likely to get my attention is e-mail. Message me on any other platform, and it can take up to six or eight weeks before I answer.
(If I answer. There are some of those, I don’t think I ever check the personal messages.)
The Current Connections
Some time back, I toyed with an app that held much promise. Called “beeper,” no link as I don’t recall, it was supposed to link the message formats across all of my various media feeds. FB, Insta, Link’d, Twitter, &c. The problem I faced? The app was automated and therefore, kept getting logged out of the various sites and message feeds.
Once I installed it, both on my phone and desktop, it worked flawlessly for about 48 hours. Then the error messages started pouring in, “Cannot connect to …” That showed up alongside, “We detected an automatic login and disconnected it…”
Eventually, I tossed the app. Would’ve been handy, a single location for all the messages across all the platforms. Some of these, like FaceBook or Linked In, I don’t even open, not that often, nor twitter. To be sure, all the social media sites that accept it, have my various feeds, outgoing blog and horoscopes. But as far as answering on those message platforms? Too many to keep track of, and that’s why I suggest e-mail. Like the archaic anachronistic adult that I might be.
“E-mail me.”
It’s that simple. Anything else? Might never hear from me.
