# Social Media

After much dawdling I finally decided to close my twitter account. I hadn't been actively posting; after 15 years it had become a bit of a mechanical process rather than something I enjoyed.

I kept putting it off because I wanted to find something to replace it with and none of the alternatives were perfect matches. Now I know I don't want to replace twitter, but rather find something else. I'm not sure what, but something different.

The last few years of online have given me a kind of posting anxiety that kept me from participating in any online community, and I think I need a change of scenery to get out of that state of mind.

I like trying new places. I like exploring the different communities that exist in the information superhighway. I don't know what I'll discover, but I'm looking forward to finding out.
