Tumblelogs

*sigh* I'm such a copycat and this is embarrassing.

Ever since I found out about Soup. EVER. SINCE. I'm actually pretending that never happened and still treats Soup like any other tumblelogs out there *coughNotComparingItToTumblrAndPosterousAnymorecough*

But you know when you're on a different website than most of your friends and you kept on virtually hanging out with them online through a third-party site (like Facebook for example), and the two different sites happen to be each other's alternatives, you just get that knack for not just comparing the two sites together, but experimenting if a function on one site can be done in the other and vice versa. That's what I've been doing and so far I've tried changing CSS and putting the Disqus code in Soup (which doesn't work, since Soup doesnt allow users to edit their HTML unlike some blog sites).

I should include Posterous too but most of my friends are using Tumblr & they have no idea what a Posterous is...

Facebook, Skype, Tumblr and Soup

This is what Myoo89 and I are currently doing... y'know, since we live in different places & all.

We're working on a collaboration project currently and need to send Photoshop/SAI files back and forth, and since Facebook can't handle large files, we used Skype. At the same time when we're on FB we randomly show each other links from Tumblr & Soup (cuz I don't have Tumblr & she doesn't have Soup) via Facebook and Skype.

So I figured this is how all that is depicted; Facebook and Skype cubecakes topped with Tumblr & Soup sauces.

And the conversations on Skype were crazy as dope. Here's an example.

Other People's Cubecakes

I do this a lot.

BUT ONLY with websites that are unused or unvisited for a long time and are considered 'dead' eventhough they're still alive. I don't like wasting online accounts so I'm better off exploring other people's dead social accounts whenever I don't have an account for that website myself.

And this only happens with close friends or anyone whom I trust.

Bookmarking Cubecakes ptIII

What can I say, Beritague is a Pligg site. Haha that doesnt even mean anything, but still, all websites undergo maintenance once in a while, it's just that I was afraid it'd end up like Mixx cuz when I tried signing up Beritague last time an error occured. Thankfully it's going smooth until now. EasyBM isnt that bad as well, for one thing it doesnt work like Digg clones, they organize bookmarks into different categories. And sometimes I use BeritaGue & EasyBM at the same time.

And I've recently got a Reddit account too, but how the story really goes is I did a guest comic for Cutting Room Comic, and they put the link on Reddit & I thought I'd join in voting. So now I use both BeritaGue & Reddit for voting & most of my bookmarks go to EasyBM.

Now I'm not the only one who tend to go a bit douchebag-braggy whenever trying a less popular alternative website, but yeah, that was what I was thinking when joining Mixx. Aaaand it temporarily died. And became Chime.in (which I still got to try sometime... cuz it seems interesting).

Currently using BeritaGue until now. It's the second site made for Indonesians that I'm on since Kronologger (a microblog), but that's another story.

My history of using bookmarking websites.

My lecturer once said the class should have Del.Icio.us or Digg or any online bookmarking sites for Research Methodology & Dissertation. For some reason the top main choices are always those four (Digg, Reddit, StumbleUpon, Delicious). As usual I don't wanna use the obvious so I lazy-searched a bit & found all these other sites. I thought Mixx looked good so I made an account on it.

FYI, Diigo is pretty good too, and Mister Wong made me laugh cuz that was the name of one of our lecturers.

SKYPE CHAT

I recently made a Skype account.
And eventhough I don't like chatting, I sometimes go on it to goof off with friends.

Everything Pinteresting and Pinspiring

This was a recent event... cuz everyone seems to be on Pinterest lately. It got even more pinteresting (i should really stop doing that) when I found the blatant copy, Pinspire. It seems that Pinspire is made to be global and that if people had a hard time going in Pinterest, since Pinterest is sometime unreachable, an alternative to turn to is Pinspire instead.

Before that I found out Minus has a setting that changes the layout pinboard-like, and I was gonna make Minus my alternaPinterest when this friend of mine asked me to join Pinspire with her. Then I realized Minus was different, it's more of an image-hosting site than a pinboard.

A few days later she did get to try Pinterest after all.

Death of Chacha.me

My friends are on Formspring a lot and as usual, when there's a popular website that is in, I try and find other alternatives for it and I found Chacha.me after 2 years (too late). Chacha.me was a pretty ok site, though not as slick-looking as Formspring.me. Then one day, Chacha decided to close down their .me site.

Then, after sometime later, THIS happened:

I finally had the balls to try Ask.fm after my birthday for some reason. It IS quite similar to Formspring, making it the closest alternative anyone can think of.

Prendstah, Multiply, Friendster

This was the time me & PurpleCyanide dicked around in Prendstah and talking about how it's actually a combination of Friendster & Facebook. Since we're both on Multiply & Cyanide has a Friendster before, I was kinda curious how Friendster actually is... until Ceruleanreaper offered me to use hers. It was unused so I explored & did whatever I want with it.. until it got a facelift & the account was gone.

I wasn't much of a Myspace or Friendster person back when they were in... I went on Multiply instead.

It all started...

One day IliCarrieDoll showed Myoo89 & me this random site starring finger photos. Since Myoo has Tumblr and I have Soup, we definitely reblogged/reposted those photos and I made the comic with us holding the websites like sheets of cardboard. And chose to color like this, different from how I color my other comics.

Then I thought of making comics with websites. But of course the websites in the comics won't appear like cardboard sheets, so another idea is to simplify their appearance as cube-shaped cakes.
Still keeping the color scheme though.
