While invitations to Google+ have been throttled to the point of being valuable enough to sell for real money on eBay, I was lucky enough to be in one of the first rounds of participation. One of y’all invited me, and my life hasn’t been the same since.

Yeah, I don’t mind sharing things that I think are hilarious, interesting, fun, useful, or whatever – and this can lead to several updates over the course of a short period of time. It’s not that I’m posting a TON – it’s just that few others are posting as much as I am. This has caused some people to label my updates as “noise.”

No. What I post is not noise. If you need clear-cut examples of social media noise, here:

• Location Check-ins
• Name Dropping for the Sake of Name Dropping
• Photos of Nothing Interesting That Nobody Would EVER Care About
• Status Updates Claiming That You’re Bored
• Adding No Value to News That Everybody Else Has Already Shared
• Stump Replies to Other People without ANY Context
• Generic, Banal Updates
• Links to Blatant Spam Re-Blog Pages
• “Me Too”
• Sycophants

Based on this list, I am far from “noisy” on Google+ (or anywhere else, for that matter).

I can point you to thousands of examples every single minute that I have to filter through – even after trying to pare down who and what I choose to follow. At least I feel that when I update a status on any one of my social networks, there’s SOME kind of value being passed along.

What’s the difference between Windows Vista Ultimate, and Windows Vista Home Premium? One is black… and the other is green. Everyone knows if something is “premium”, it’s good… but if it’s “ultimate”… it’s better! You never hear that premium is better than ultimate. Are you nuts? Everybody knows that software that comes in black is much better than software that comes in green. That’s been scientifically proven by people at MIT who weren’t scientists, but they did wear the little white lab coats!

Someone in chat asked if Vista will run their microwave. If you put the Windows Vista Home Premium disc in the microwave… it’s a very shocking experience. VERY shocking. It will upgrade your microwave, for sure. The difference will be night and day. Make sure you only use the green disc though.

I just don’t understand why people are so confused. You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to figure it out.
