Lent is here again.  It started on February 6th and lasts until March 23rd.  A bit early this year.

Last year I gave up Google and Yahoo! for Lent.  It was an interesting experiment.  This year I am abstaining from social networks.

No LinkedIn, Facebook or MySpace for 40 days. 

Still doing TypePad, WordPress, and Twitter.  Well half of Twitter.  Twitter describes itself as a social networking and microblogging service.  I am going to use the microblogging part.  But be forewarned, no ampersand or DM responses from me.

Not really sure if doing so qualifies as a reminder of Christ’s sufferings, but this is what I am giving up this year.  It will be interesting to see what networks I return to come March.
