Social Media is all about sharing - but how sharing are we?
Yes, you can share my obsession with cats (which I just made up), what I had for lunch including fuzzy fotos, why I loved the great new episode of Whatever IV, me joining the slag of a sleaze of a celebrity whore who had the audacity to tweet THAT, and oh so much more.
But!Back!Away!From!My!Smartphone.

[If this were a money hungry blog where we thought we wouldn't be able to pay the rent without annoying ads, there would be a slickly done graphic and text ad right here - in this very spot - that looked like it fit right into the content - part of the blog post - it wouldn't even say 'advertisement' in tiny text like they have to do in the dead tree edition. But it's not a money hungry blog. We have, as they say, alternate sources of revenue. Look up SmartypantsICP.com or NewMediaDrive if you want to know more.
LOL...that was fun. Did you think it clever? Annoying? Stupid? Money hungry? All of the above? C'mon, admit it. You smiled. A little bit.]
OK. So back to sharing.
You can share my thoughts and emotions, such as they are, and even glory in the photos of my joy, pain, hubris and downright stupidity, but do NOT, and I say again, do NOT think you can use my laptop or take my cellphone out for the night.
And don't even ASK to borrow my persona.
As in: "NO, I will not let you use my Facebook account on Saturday night."
Don't even ASK.
