the metaphysical conundrum: splitters or lumpers?

Which is really a question of compartive liturgiology. But! A fine use of time right now trying to determine if it is better to sublimate my twitter status and my gtalk status into a single entity (since updating my gtalk status is entirely useless most of the time, but no one really notices twitter). I do not like the unification of twitter feeds and facebook status messages, simply because multiple channels of communication are good. I have colleagues who do not necessarily need the level of detail in my twitter feed, but it's there if they want it.


So ultimately why do I bother trying to sublimate twitter/gtalk/facebook status, not to mention this damn blog and my pretty useless tumblr account? Hmm. Perhaps I shall just leave it at conflicting and disruptive multiple currents.


Or, short version, twitter wins, gtalk looses.
