Damn, I’m Opinionated

Do you ever look up your username in Google to make sure nobody else is stealing it, forcing you to have to kill them,  or… you know, just to see your own trail?  Well I did it today.  Although some douchebag is using my name on MySpace, which I guess I don’t mind because it’s fucking MySpace and it’ll go away on its own, my trail looked to be all me.

One thing that turned up in my results was a link to some site called Amplicate.  It’s one of many websites that watches Twitter and shows up when you search your name because they replicate your content, which is fine because it’s all public and if you didn’t mean it to be, then surprise, you should have read the manual.  Word.

Amplicate.com

Amplicate seems to aggregate what you say and look for certain patterns to find what you like and don’t like.  Here’s what mine told me about me:

• Boobies Rock – Given.
• Charity Rocks
• Costco Rocks
• Cruelty Sucks
• Golf Sucks
• Grooveshark Rocks
• Movies Rock
• Nickelback Sucks
• Reason Sucks – This one referred to me hating being back on a college campus.
• Rod Sucks – Rod Stewart.  It’s true.  He does suck.
• Surprise Sucks – Actually, it said suprise, to which I add “Spelling Sucks”

It also suggested people I would like, based on our likes and dislikes:

• Good Morning America – Morning Show
• Tony Hawk – Pro Skater
• Joel McHale – Author
• BBC Click – BBC Tech TV Show
• Demi Moore – Ashton’s Sexy Cougar

I also found that I could enter some of your twitter usernames into the search box at the top, if I know you.  If I don’t know you, it’s nice to meet you.  Make me a sandwich.

You guys are opinionated as hell too.  Damn.  We’re some bitchy mofos.

This did make me think, though, that it’s interesting how some people hold back opinions to keep the peace, and others broadcast it in your ear with an oceanliner horn.  While I want people to like me, and you do too (If you say you don’t you’re lying to yourself), I want to be liked for the weirdo that I am.

I think my opinions above are too vanilla.  I’m going to be even more opinionated and really blow this shit off the charts.  What do you love and hate?
