A Private window to the Open mind

I wish there was some framework that would allow me to normalise my social networks.

I noticed one of my friends mentioned another friend on Live journal, but because everyone on LJ has Wierd Names Like THE_IMMORTAL_SQUIRRIL and YELLOW_COFFEE or whatever I find there is no way to even look through my existing friends profile pages and find people I know who are not yet on my friends page.

I'm to be honest more interested in the way that social networks work than in actually using them, but if there was a way to consolidate all of my social networking and ensure that if I had a friend on MySpace that I was also connected to them on Facebook, Bebo, Twitter, LiveJournal and linked in that would be ace.

In fact something that monitored my activity on all these social networks and said You've just added joe bob as a friend on Facebook, We've found that they also have a twitter and a Live journal account, would you like to add them there too. would be amazing, all this disparity is frustrating, I hate having to keep track of multiple social networks, I want to be able to add a friend somewhere and just be thier friend, convergence is key.

It would be nice if there was some kind of social framwork, which would allow for single connectivity, adding in peoples personal blogs as well would be nice... Open ID I'm looking at you, well I'm glancing at you becuase this isn't what you are meant to do, but something should do this...


end rant.

I found ths on somone elses journal... At 62 in total I'm not as obsessive as I thought apparently, thought I'd say that there was some stuff missing...


Go through the list and check off the titles you have watched. For our purposes, "watching" a title means that for TV and OVA series, you have to have seen at least one episode. For one-shots, you have to have seen the whole thing. At the end of each genre/category, add up your sub-total. At the very end, add up the sub-totals to come up with your grand total. If your grand total is 80 or over, congratulations -- you are an obsessive anime watcher!

As an extra note: not all the titles listed here are great, and some are even steaming piles of crap. Titles on the list are here because they are either 1) genuinely good, 2) insanely popular, 3) good examples of the genre, or 4) just plain notorious. Good anime obsessives should be able to watch series with any of those qualities.
