Damned Facebook

I come to find that I post a lot of shit on Facebook for my friends to check out.  Granted, I think that some of the articles or some of the videos and whatnot are amusing and everything, and who but God knows who is watching what and reading what.  Does it even matter if anyone pays attention to what I post there?  Sometimes.  Every now and then I hit gold and stir up some talk about it, but most of the time, my desperate cries for attention through sharing my interests falls on deaf ears.  Then again, most of my audience is part of the "night-walker" sleep schedule type people.
So I started thinking, I was getting tired of not only just posting stuff on Facebook and watching all the fun information start shifting down the waterfall of status updates and quizzes to take of others "walls".  I wanted something that kind of was like a newspaper, where I could congregate all my links that I come across and "publish" so that others could get their daily dose of what I've been looking at.  I looked at paper.li and was interested, but didn't like the fact that I couldn't control what I was posting in the "paper".  I didn't want something automated, or congregated from my friends or followers.  I wanted me.  I want to share what I want to share, not what a computer decides upon.  Grr.
So, being the technologically aware, yet technologically inept mutagen that I am, I couldn't figure out how to produce something like that (but if anyone knows of something or somewhere I can go to produce a newspaper format "dumpage of links" like I'm talking about, please let me know).  I'm choosing to use this site here as something of a database of what I dump to Facebook.  As always, I don't know what is going to happen.  No one is going to visit and check out what I've got here, but *shrug* who knows what I might find...
