Like Mr Carmo, I have been becoming more and more frustrated with the sheer amount of noise there is online and I am struggling along with the rest of the interverse to swim the stream without feeling like I’m drowning.

I have gone a little further by deleting my twitter account, and I have always had a rule of friends on Facebook, colleagues on LinkedIn and with only two exceptions, it stays that way.

Evidently I am somewhat younger (or just more juvenile) than Mr Carmo though, as I have decided to set up my own photo gallery on my own infrastructure rather than use other services like Facebook with questionable retention policies, or Flickr where a subscription is required for decent functionality.
