Now this got me curious, which it should, that’s the
whole idea of promoting.
Anyway, so I head on over to the site, set myself up
a little—since I have a great reading rhythm that works well for me. I don’t
need something like this to keep track of everything. Honestly, I don’t
actually regularly follow that many people (well, yeah I do but… never mind, it’s
not the point)
Anyway I went over there, click on it.
To me, it actually seemed a little weird. Like it
wasn’t completely helpful at all.
Like yeah, if I were following people I knew, then
fine that’s easy, but to learn about new people… well, I didn’t go that deep
since I didn’t really care, but it there seemed to be something missing in all
that.
Anyway, I linked up to my blog. It’s the reason I
went over there, I have to check it out.
And you see, I have three running at the moment, one
was the original URL linking everyone over to this one, if they chose. The other
if for a URL that I fucked up with. Put up without really thinking about it. And
this one. With all my main feeds.
Anyway, they had one of my blog on there.
And not this one.
I found that it was odd, for one; shouldn’t they
have actually looked at the links before they decided to play me into going
onto their site? Shouldn’t they have at least realised—because it’s fucking obvious
with a huge, ‘this is not my blog’ title at the top that this blog wasn’t
actually in use?
The worst part is, why are there 21 followers.
Which is kinda my point on the questions above.
If you are only doing this, adding viewer to my blog
so that I would get interested when you send me an email saying I have 21 new
followers, and if I wanted the info about it, I would just have to email them
and ask.
Yeah, I did get interest—or maybe intrigued would be
a better word.
I wanted to check it out. See what was going on,
even though I had no real intension of using them. It’s a free year, it ain’t
gonna cost me so why not. Hell, if it was good I would have done something
different here.
Anyway, so I linked onto it, the set up’s easy,
though saying this; I couldn’t look around the site without becoming a member, which
normally would have completely turned me off. I don’t buy before I know what I’m
getting, not for shit like this.
So I did all that, I linked myself up to an author
site. You had to have at least one, which seemed reasonably—hell, tumblr makes
you have, like, 10 before you are allowed to move forward. But what I found
really odd was the fact that I couldn’t browse. I had to know who I wanted to
look up. I had to have their address or key words about them in order to link
them up.
But, thinking of it now, it make sense, this site is
designed to be an easy way for you to manage your web reading.
Anyway, when I looked up the blog they were talking
about. Since I wanted to know what it looked like, I found that it was, well,
the site I mentioned above. This site isn’t worth reading. Nothing new will
ever be on it. It even clearly says that. So why do I have 21 people following
it?
And yeah, the numbers I’m seeing on the sign thing
clearly says that there are that many. And I’m sorry, but I can’t believe people
are dumb enough to follow a site that’s that clearly nothing.
So was the whole idea that I would go onto them,
fall in love and tell everyone about it?
Huh, well I am, and because of it all I haven’t
really been able to stop thinking about the whole deal.
The worse thing about this site, which I found was
the fact that they don’t show you want the site is. When things are written it’s
all linked together in a single paragraph no matter how long the words go for. Which
I find annoying when reading. It doesn’t show anything that the original blog
is. But then, that could be how other people like to read shit. I like the idea
behind things. The way they sit, that artistic part of a blog as well as what’s
written. I feel it’s all a part of the person. And this site kinda takes that
away.
I also didn’t seem to be able to find any real link
ups to the original blog. Like I wouldn’t be able to do a simple link up to the
original work if I wanted to. Which I find annoying, but again, that’s just me.
I think that’s all.
So, the point to all this is that before I unsubscribe
to the site, which I will be as soon as I finish this. The only reason I’m
still linked is because I thought I might need it for something but I didn’t.
So, anyway, if you need an easy place to read you
stuff (I think that’s how they want to promote it) then here’s your place.
Feedspot.com
I don’t actually know how much it cost to use this
site, I was told I got a year free, which is the only reason I believe it
actually cost something at all. But as far as I could tell it didn’t say
anything about that. Which is something else I away look out for when going
into these types of sites.
Um… so, there’s me promoting it for them. I did my
best with the experience I had during my time, and I’m sure you can all tell,
that they did not pay me for this time. It’s all my own. Hell, even if they did
(they didn’t) I still wouldn’t have been able to say anything less than what I
already have.
Oh, and this isn’t me being mean. It’s an honest
experiences blogged. I have no real thought on them either way. If it works for
you, then I’m happy for you. If you’re having problems managing your reading, which
I understand since a lot of people have changed over to wordpress, which means
there off your original feeds. Or something like that.
I just have this feeling, even though they never
asked, that they wanted me there for some reason that I can’t understand, and
after this probably won’t think about again.
Till next time.
(Apparently, they have a Facebook and Twitter
account, which I’m assuming is under their name. I’m too lazy to be bother more
than I have)
UPDATE: Apparently, I can’t actually cancel my
account with the company—which has now made my whole experience an annoyance. I
don’t want to be there. I defiantly don’t want to pay any money to be on it.
I want off. Help me! does anyone know how I’m meant
to delete my account without me having to emailing them?
