Happiness Takes (A Little) Magic
Brian Lam:
I also stopped reading twitter and facebook regularly, because most of my online acquaintances are nice, but I like to think about these experiences as shallow and yes, also I don’t give a shit about 99% of people I interact with online. I’ve met some great friends online, but once I find them I would prefer to spend that time and energy with the few I would do anything for. Also, clicking the like button 1 billion times will never give you an orgasm or a hug or a high five.
All this has freed up about 3 hours a day for me.
I engage pretty regularly with Twitter and Tumblr because I get value out of them, in terms of connections or information. Everything else (Facebook, Google+, etc) gets little traffic from me.
