It all started out innocently enough. I'd used Delicious for years to store links I found useful, but then along came Friendfeed and suddenly my digital footprints were being judged. Why didn't people "like" what I was sharing? How come no one was commenting on such interesting content? Why won't people add me as their virtual friend?

Of course the number of followers, friends, and likes doesn't really matter in the end (right??) but I still can't help reloading my FF page unnecessarily to see if anything I like is being liked by others.

So now I'm wondering...will this new Plinky character help or hurt my habit?
