I think CommentLuv works on a different time zone. I notice that I can have a new post up but if I comment on someone else’s blog, it cites the prior one.

I’ll go visit to see if we are still thinking alike!

Thanks, TJ… I think once you said that a 12 second delay makes people crazy now… we have become an impatient society.

I am in total agreement with you! My blog dashboard was not working last night when I wanted to put up a new post, and it was frustrating (to say the least). I got it posted today, but is not being picked up by CommentLuv. Oh, well!

We do get spoiled with technology. You become so dependent on it and expect that instantaneous connection at any time. When it doesn’t work, you hardly remember how to function without it!

…. a social media/communications addict?

Technology, is great. Except when it doesnt work. It was not that long ago, that if you could do *anything* with computers you were some kind of techno genius. Over the past few decades, what was impossible, has changed to difficult and now much of it is literally childs play. In the mainframe era, just moving files from one platform to another was difficult. Today, if you cant instantly send a FB update with the latest photo you took on your iPhone while skiiing, it some disaster (only in terms of the expectation).

It sure does mess things up when the tech doesn’t work, and you arent the only one it bothers! I am also one who is very used to being able to find, connect and communicate quickly and easily.

Maybe there is a 12 step program for that? Nice post!
