lowering my cyber-presence

since i'm decluttering my life (i.e. cleaning up my room, my e-mail, my life in general), i decided to track down all my cyberspace accounts and delete all those that i'm no longer using. besides, baka isang araw, sumikat ako at makalimutan kong may account pala ko in whatever site at may magamit cla dun na pics or notes or whatever that they can use against me. (haha. as if) pero seriously, ang hirap kasi, masyadong madaming username and password.

so below are all the accounts that i've set up on different sites. ung mga naka-strikethrough are the ones that i've already deleted. the others are accounts that i will either be keeping, deleting soon, unable to delete because of some reason, or those that i haven't made up my mind about yet.

these are just the ones i remember or have notifications of in my e-mail accounts (which, by the way, i have 4 of. 2 from yahoo, 1 from gmail, and 1 from UP.) matatawa ka na lang siguro dahil para kong adik na sign up ng sign up sa kung anuano or maiintindihan mo ko at marerealize mo na may point ang ginagawa ko or may iba ka pang reaksyon na hindi ko na iisipin pa kung ano. :D

hi-5 
onti lang ang friends ko na gumagamit nito. not fun. deleted as of 08/29/2009.

myspace
hindi ako nag-enjoy dito. basta. naguguluhan ako sa layout ng profile ng mga tao. nakakahilo dahil halos fully customizable ang lahat ng makikita mo sa pages.. ang daming gumagalaw na icons, words, ang daming effects sa pictures, comments at kung anuano pa. nakakasakit sa ulo. i kept this for more than 5 years 'cause i know that this is the social networking site with the most users. (pero baka nalampasan na cya ng facebook) plus sikat cya sa US. eh baka sumikat din dito someday so i kept it. or baka naman sikat na cya sa pinas, di lang sa friends ko. well, mukhang di na cya sisikat sa friends ko. masyado na nilang mahal ang facebook. deleted as of 08/29/2009.

tagged
dahil sa dami ng nagsesend ng invite through email. eh nakulitan na ko so i set up an account. onti din lang naman friends ko dito. i rediscovered it lately dahil may friend ako na kinulit akong magmafia wars sa tagged para lumaki ang mafia nya. naadik ako sa mafia wars. pero dahil may mafia wars din sa facebook at mas madami akong friends dun na nagmamafia wars, kinalimutan ko na ang tagged account ko. wala na cyang use ngaun. deleted as of 08/28/2009.

windows live spaces
i don't even remember why and when i made this.. according to my profile, it was created december 2003 pa. but it's empty and i haven't even updated anything on the profile. deleted as of 08/29/2009.

photobucket
ginamit ko lang to nung time na nagxxanga ako to store the files that i'm using for that site. after nun, wala na kong ibang inupload. nung naging busy ako at nawalan na ng oras magblog natigil na din ang paggamit ko ng photobucket. inassume ko lang na wala na ung account ko dito. kasi i found the email from photobucket regarding my registration while i was cleaning up my email. pero nung nagtry ako maglog-in wala daw account with that user name. can anyone confirm if photobucket automatically deletes inactive accounts? years ko na hindi nabuksan ang account ko. ;p

hipstir
isa lang ang friend ko dito. bakit nga ba ko nagsign up? kausuhan ata to ng social networking sites. mga 2004. pero dominated pa ng friendster and social networking nun. again, no friends = no fun. deleted as of 08/28/2009

scribd
i used this around last year. i've been looking for books kasi that were not in stock sa mga bookstores here in the philippines. eh halos mga wala din naman sa scribd. will be deleting this soon. i have no use for it anymore. (if only i can remember my username and password)

facebook
no plans of deleting this anytime soon. enjoy ang games, lots of my friends are using it actively, and it's  user-friendly.

plurk
enjoy ako dito ngaun. kahit konti lang ang friends ko. at hindi pa sila lahat, kilala ko. im not much of a chatter (which is parang chat ang nangyayari sa plurk) but i do log in every few hours to update my account with what i'm doing/thinking. and i have my plurk updates automatically posted to my facebook account and twitter and it's on this blog. i love the interface. plus naaaliw ako sa concept ng karma. kaya ikaw na nagbabasa ng blog ko (kung meron mang nagbabasa nito since i never told anyone na i'm blogging again.), kung may plurk account ka, iadd mo ko. click mo lang ung plurk ko sa ilalim ng header ng blog na to. :D

xanga
my first 2 blogs were on this site. i'm still thinking if i'm gonna delete them 'cause i feel sentimental about the blog posts.. that was during my late teens so nakakatawa pag nagbabackread ako.)

youtube
bakit nga ba ko nagregister ng account dito? eh pwede naman akong manood ng videos kahit wala akong youtube acount. icclose ko na to.. (as soon as maalala ko ang username at password. argh.)

blogspot
dahil wala akong ginagawa lately, namamaintain ko ang blog na to. sana lang mamaintain ko pa din pag nagtrabaho na ko ulet.

imeem
wala din tong kwenta for me. lahat naman ng gusto kong songs eh nasa hard drive ko. i usually burn cds or download songs so like the youtube account, i'll be deleting this na. (and like youtube, di ko din maalala ang username at password.)

multiply
ito ang naging photo storage site ko. nung time na lumabas to, it was the easiest photo-sharing site na social networking na din.. i enjoyed it for a few years.. hanggang sa dumating ang facebook. kung video killed the radio star, facebook killed the social networking stars.. at hindi ko gusto ang bagong multiply. naguguluhan ako. basta. magulo. wag ka nang magtry pa na iexplain sa kin kung bakit nila pinagulo ang dating simpleng multiply. gusto ko na din tong idelete. sayang lang dahil ang dami kong pics na nakaupload dito.

friendster
honestly, friendster scares me na. there's a lot of friend requests of people i don't know, daming spam testimonials with the girl inviting people to video chat with them, messages are all about applications, it's starting to get boring, and most of my friends transferred to facebook. still thinking about deleting my account but some of my friends in here who i don't see anymore don't have facebook. so i guess i'm keeping it in the meantime.

twitter
i've had it for a few weeks. kanina lang ako nagpost ng status message. (hindi pa pala. i just arranged for my plurks to be posted on twitter) maganda lang cyang pang-stalk ng celebrities. pero i can view celebrities' accounts naman kahit na wala akong twitter so i'm thinking about deleting this.. on the other hand, i have all my plurks automatically posted to facebook and twitter so di naman hassle i-keep ung account.

livejournal
i only have this because of a handful fan-fictions on this site that i like. i will probably delete the account once all chapters of those fan fics have been uploaded. hmm.. or not. seriously, there are a lot of great writers on live journal kaya i'm still thinking if i'm gonna delete this account.

*end note* mas madami pa ung natira kesa sa nadelete ko. sana maalala ko na ung mga username at password na nakalimutan ko. naalala ko lang, ,may account din pala ko sa neopets! may neopets pa ba ngaun? mai-check nga para maclose ko na din. :D

ETA:
neopets
