In Which Lorraine is a Narcissist

lunabee34Del.icio.us has not changed the way I internet overmuch. I don't have an account myself and I don't use the site to find fic that other people have bookmarked that I might like to read.
But I do check del.icio.us on a regular basis for my own screen name. Oh, yes. That's right. I said it. LOL I wanna see who's saving my fic to their accounts.
In this way I learned that while very few people commented on my SPN/SGA crossover (that I'd labored over for months and am inordinately proud of), a handful who didn't comment at all saved the fic to their del.icio.us accounts. This made me very happy and feel good about continuing to write fic in that universe. Del.icio.us was also the straw that broke the camel's back in regards to my recent layout change. I'd been planning to change it for awhile and then when I del.icio.us-ed myself today, I saw that someone had left me a note telling me they liked the story they'd saved but couldn't find the comment button on my journal to leave feedback. LOL
So, my question to you is--Am I the only person who does this? Am I the lone egomaniac on the flist or are you guys checking yourselves out too?

Date: 2007-11-30 02:13 am (UTC)There are a lot of problems with the way I make recs; I make a post and save it to memories and then there's no way to tell which fics are recced in which post because the subject line won't accommodate all the fic titles. Del.icio.us would eliminate that problem.
I just don't like the way the site looks. Isn't that lame? It seems difficult to navigate to me. Maybe I should just open an account and give it a try. Things are usually not as difficult as they look once you start doing them. Usually. LOL

Date: 2007-11-30 05:26 pm (UTC)I've searched for myself a bit on del.icio.us, and had a couple pleasant surprises. Though I also put all my own fic up on del.icio.us on another account (inspired by

Date: 2007-11-30 05:52 pm (UTC)First off, I am on dialup. I connect to the internet with AOL. I dl'd the buttons, but I have to open Internet explorer in another window to use them, which makes everything run slower and is a pain in the ass.
Also, the character limit on the description is pretty much a deal breaker for me. My recs are for myself so I can find fics I'd like to read again. I never rec something I don't intend to reread and I need to put a description on each fic that's long enough for me to remember what's going on and what I liked about it. I can't do that with del.icio.us.

Date: 2007-11-30 07:41 pm (UTC)I do definitely dislike the character limit. I think of del.icio.us as supplementing my website, though, so I'm willing to kind of roll with it, figuring having people read my not-as-thorough-as-I-would-like-them-to-be recs than not read my recs at all.

Date: 2007-11-30 08:17 pm (UTC)As a supplement it works really well, I think.
That's what I really need. A website for my recs. That would be ideal.

Date: 2007-11-30 08:26 pm (UTC)I should really contact the Help Desk of my website provider since it's being stupid and I need to either get it fixed or find a new provider for when I'm up for renewal. Were I not having such problems I'd happily offer you a subdomain on my website.

Date: 2007-12-01 04:48 pm (UTC)I don't know anything about adding information to a website, though. Could you tell me how to do it? Or is it self explanatory enough that I should be able to figure it out?

Date: 2007-12-01 01:12 am (UTC)Just this morning I was trying to remember when I'd posted a certain thing (those SGA versions of Dinosaur Comics that I photoshopped) -- I'd tagged the first entry but not the second one, so I went to del.ico.us and entered "sga dinosaur comics" and there it was! :)
Not quite the same as vanity googling, but much more efficient than searching through my memories. :)
