My MILF List

Yes, its true.  I have a MILF list.  You may have strong opinions about whether you feel this is an appropriate topic but at the end of the day I don’t really care.  It is my list and I cherish it.  I think about it all the time.  It is a list that has developed over time and I like to prioritize it daily as the priorities do change from day to day.  I hope to add to it over time but for now it meets my needs.  Before I divulge the list, I feel I should explain how I developed it.

I find myself daily being drawn into the the social aspects of the web.  I now have accounts for LinkedIn, Plaxo, Facebook and Orkut.  As you can see, this is my first post on my shinny new blog.   All of this social networking stuff is so addictive.  Especially Twitter.  Yes, I am addicted to Twitter and now have a love hate relationship with it.  It is a weird dynamic.  I find myself constantly checking for new Tweets.  Yet I get angry because some people Tweet too much and tell me things I don’t really care all that much about.

This got me thinking.  I wish their was a filter for Twitter that would only show things I care about.  What a great program that would be.  A Twitter filter.  I would give it a cool name like Twilfer.  Or better yet, I could shorten the name to TWILF (TWeets I’d Like to Filter).  Then it dawned on me that there are other messages I would like to filter out of Facebook, LinkedIn,  email and all my social networking tools.  So I expanded the idea to Messages I’d Like to Filter.

So here is my MILF list:

1.  Anything you think is cute and funny that you wrote when you were bored.  I mean you were bored.  Trust me, it comes through in the message.

2.  Anything about your pets.  I don’t like animals and I really don’t care about yours.

3.  Anything about politics, religion or life.  Or TV shows you like or movies you like or food you like…you get the idea.

4.  Anything that does not directly benefit me in some way.  Let’s just agree that it is all about me.

5.  Any and all SPAM.  Even if the SPAM were to benefit me I don’t want it.  I mean we really need to take a stand against SPAM. 

6.  Really anything I am not in the mood for at that moment.  Meaning, not now but maybe later.  Then again, maybe not.

I can’t wait till tomorrow to re-prioritize my MILF list.
