2003-08-12 - 11:42 a.m. - on the edge of maximum diary whorage...
I guess I'm finally caving in... I made my decision to whore my diary to the diaryland public through banner advertisements. That's right, sometime in the near future I'll be purchacing d-land's super gold membership, effectively making me a "Goldmember". I was glancing over the pricing. $54.99 is the largest "package" d-land is offering for 1 year, 30MB of image space, 30K banner flashes and whatever little featurettes come with that deal.
Hell, I spend more than that clubbing and binging on drinks on any given weekend, I might as well put away some of my hard earned cash on something more constructive. While contemplating this, I've even created a few banners in a fit of creative inspiration and I have boku ideas for more banner ads swimming in my head. About the only trepidation I have left is the issue of reciprocity and integrity. I anticipate a flood of guestbook and diaryland notes that will be generated from the banner ads. It always pisses me off when people don't care reply to thier guestbooks or notes, especially to those notes which contain my compliments and my genuine admiration. If I start ignoring people it would make me a hypocrite. I also don't want to lose touch with friends and aquaintences I have already established. If I spend all my time scurrying to answer a flood of notes, it will leave me little time to do much else.
So many things to consider. I guess I'll wait until the last few reviews are in, pull any last minute tweaks if necessary and update my review section. Then I'll make the purchase. I need some semblance of change in my life, I just hope I don't lose myself in the process of that change...
