The same sort of stuff is going on with Twitter, I'm told. A few are rank imposture, I hear, featuring nasty comments by assholes pretending to be me. Others are the work of trolls, established for purposes of abuse, since Ty keeps a lid of that kind of crap on LJ. Some seem to be the work of well intentioned fans, and do nothing but copy my posts from here. Friends of mine who do these things inform me that there are several Facebook pages with my name on 'em. Now some of you may think you've seen my page on Facebook. I will not be on the next new thing to come along, the one that makes Facebook and Twitter as obsolete as GEnie and CompuServe and The Source, those halcyon communities of yore. I have my website, which someone else runs for me, and I have this LJ account, the blog that I vainly called my Not A Blog in hopes that might prevent me from blogging. Yes, I have been using a computer for twenty years now, but while I cruise this interwebby thing with a PC and Windows, I still do all my writing on an old DOS machine running WordStar 4.0, the Duesenberg of word processing software (very old, but unsurpassed). I am a dinosaur, as all my friends will tell you.
