Some of you have asked why Kristin doesn't do more with her Facebook and MySpace profiles, specifically why she doesn't spend more time with them. I thought this forum might be a good place to discuss that.
The simple truth is that while MySpace might be useful to the newest newbie to Kristin's music (and therefore somewhat useful to us), it's also kind of insulting and inane for the rest of us - and by "us" in this case, I mean those of us in this community - you, Kristin and me. I dislike all the "noise", I dislike the meaningless friending and I dislike the corporation. MySpace will never be where we spend much time or energy. We care way more about a place like this, where we can have meaningful interactions - and amplify them, sharing our individual communications (and connections), which we love and value, with the larger community.
Same for Facebook. Although Facebook's less offensive, we haven't spent much time over there either. To be honest, it's just not that important and seems kind of silly, really.
Bottom line: This is the place that matters to us and we want to make sure it matters to you, too. We've done some amazing things together - with each of us on the receiving end of some pretty special gifts.
None of us has unlimited time or resources -- we want to make sure we make the most of ours. You all are a pretty damn good investment in our estimation.
Lots of love.

p.s. - This video inspired this post. If you don't know Seth Godin, you should. He's a hero of ours and a mighty warrior in the battle between the meaningless and the meaningful. And Tom Peters is no slouch himself.
p.p.s. - But we love Twitter.
