Idling
Recently got involved in a couple lengthy debates, in terms of word count, concerning Christianity. Both, within the span of two days oddly enough, began when someone on Facebook posted a picture that not only made fun of Christianity (happens all the time, I would not have a spare moment if I were to respond to every one, nor would I feel the desire to), but contained a factually inaccurate depiction of Christianity as well.
And, in both cases, my attempt to simply correct the misconception turned into a me-against-many debate that basically boiled down to the validity of Christianity vs. secular atheism as a belief system.
Which is fine, because I am the one in the right, and have become much better at such debates. Still some work to do.

Have you heard of Klout?
I don't get it.
I signed up, sure, and check it periodically. I believe I have a fair understanding, basically, of how it works.
But is it just a silly novelty, or is it really trying to be a serious, business-class application?
Because it sometimes just seems like a silly novelty.

Yeah... It seems like if I ever say anything on these debates, I get rail roaded too. So I just don't even both most of the time.
I don't know why we bother! Sometimes, the 'having it all' debate has become so thorny it can polarize friendships and make enemies of families.
Klout - I looked it up, and it might be interesting if I were in facebook and wanted to track my popularity. I'm not and I don't.
Do you know Diaspora? Supposed to be a new social network, anonymous, without the privacy intrusion of facebook.@we_deny_everything - I use Klout for Twitter, because I legitimately use Twitter as a promotion tool -- on a personal level, on a personal-business level, and on a business level. If that makes any sense... without going into a drawn-out explanation...
But, yes, I actually have heard of Diaspora, but I suppose I don't "know" it! Privacy it not an issue for me (really, I have nothing to hide), but if it can be leveraged into a promotional/networking tool, I guess it's worth researching. I do know, though, that I was sorely disappointed with Google+. I have an account, but have not logged in for a few weeks now. Nobody was able to explain to me how to use it, or how it could ever be more effective than Facebook.
