My Facebook

Journeying along the Highway 66, I’ve heard much clamor about this “Facebook” thingy. Well, not wanting to fall behind the rest of the civilized world, while I’m speeding along Route 66, I opened an account to discover it for myself. I was able to connect with a few friends and the wife of long lost cousin in England, however, I am finding that using Facebook is much more difficult than blogging, such as here at WordPress.com or at Blogger. Plus, I find the advertising distracting and much of it a bit distasteful. It’s nice to have no advertising here at WordPress.

While I’ve had no trouble at all getting my PODs from VODPOD posted here (see on the right), at Facebook it was quite different. Facebook has a VODPOD application, and after one jumps through all the hoops, it won’t display what one programs in. Very frustrating!

I am frustratingly FINISHED with trying to use Facebook’s VODPOD application. Apparently it only works if one has only ONE pod. I have seven and there was no way to get the pod I wanted to show. So, I created an entirely new VODPOD account with only one pod, uploaded my videos to it, and VODPOD at Facebook will still only show the unwanted POD from my “old” VODPOD account, even though I am signed into VODPOD with my new account and new password.

The POD at VODPOD that I wanted to share is already posted here at this blog on the right hand side. I tell you, I see no reason to bother with that Facebook thingy, if you already have a blog, unless you are seeking new Internet friends. Of course, I can only display one POD here at my “Vanishing Memories” blog, but at least I can specify which one to display, unlike at Facebook.

If you want to connect with me at Facebook, the link is here on the right too. If you would like to see my POD at VODPOD of Appalachian Music and Dance, here it is: http://neddy.vodpod.com/ .
