Due to the somewhat addictive nature of Facebook (It’s so darn easy), there’s been not much new stuff being posted on The Shures network. I’ve come to the conclusion that Facebook, Twitter, etc. are like the crack of blogging; instant gratification but not long lasting satisfaction.

While hanging out with all your friends jibber jabbering at once in a public forum is fun, I prefer the ability to maintain a more personalized presence on the Internet. The constraints of a commercial closed system do not meet my needs or goals. I like the freedom of complete control of the what, when’s, and how’s of my Internet style.

Many key elements which I consider must haves are still missing from the popular social networking sites. Things like chronologically or subjectively organizing posts, no size restrictions, being able to make corrections, or the ability to customize.

I know someday developers will merge the best of worlds, both ease of use broadcasting and crafted content support. But until then, I’m going to keep doing my own Shures thing here. I’ll still use the other social sites for communicating, but my best will continue to be placed here.

While once again keeping The Shures network updated with the current and new, I’m also going to back fill in some of the missing good stuff from this last year.

On 11-12-2010, the Shures Network will be 10 years old. We’ve been here together through the hard times and the pain. On this day, I’ll have to celebrate you baby like I should.

I’ve also been cleaning up my apartment.

I’ve completely revamped the Shures Network website. I hope you like the changes.

It’s lean and clean and now loaded with nothing but Shures content.
