Revolted

My dearest, old buzznet friends! :-)

I proudly present myself (can I ?) as a home Internet - user, finally! We made it, though the connection is really weak - 115 Kpbs - and I'll have to wait a lot during the uploads of all the photos I made during the 6 months I've been away and I'd like to share with you.

And now the reason I make this entry:
Buzznet doesn't seem to be what is was. We, the "core" users, the ones who turned Buzznet into as it is today, popular and well-known, are bothered daily by young fanatic human (?) beings asking us to "Buzz" them. Though until this very day I couldn't figure out the real meaning of that feature here (being buzzed), it seems to be a vitally important thing for some bored teenagers who are trying to look like
- Fall Out Boy yesterday,
- Avril Lavigne today,
- and Marylin Manson tomorrow?

I wonder what's all behind these actions.. Buzznet is trying to turn into an e-zine for crazy teenagers? I get messages every day from angry/sad/desperate/bored/bothered people, my old buzz friends, announcing their "retreats" from Buzznet, leaving Buzznet for Flickr and other sites. I tried all, and I still prefer Buzznet than any other.

And therefore, here I am protesting against this madness on this site...

(If you agree, buzz me) LOL

Kissies for every dear buzznet friend of mine,
Kathy

	JargonTalk ©: 05/19/2007 3:10 AM Buzzed, and for the most part I agree, though remember this: Change is inevitable. Change is constant. ~ Benjamin Disraeli, British writer and Prime Minister

	Virtual Tourist: 01/03/2008 6:06 AM Thank you for your comment, Kathy, nice to hear from you again. I sadly missed a lot of your (and others') posts last year when my business was more than I could handle and I had no time to browse Buzznet. That was also about the time Buzznet was in transition and I was losing interest in the site, not my friends. I, too, prefer Buzznet over Flickr or the other sites and keep coming back. I just ignore the sections I'm not interested in and all of the "kids" who want nothing more than to be on everyone's friends list.
	kathy1981: 01/03/2008 12:17 PM yeah, strange "friends", Trish :-( The word "friend" is a very important word, has a meaning, has history and memories, good and bad times together.. like a marriage? :-) Here they use it without its real meaning. I'd call "buddy" or something less ... meaningful.
