xp 154. Compared results of thespark.com Purity Test with friends
― visiting, Thursday, 27 May 2021 20:08 (three years ago) link
yeah there were the tests, then they launched sparkmatch and it was massive for about a month, then suddenly they shut it all down and it turned into sparknotes, no idea what went on there, they really blew an opportunity.

223. set up your twitter account with your phone, moved abroad, had your phone number reassigned to someone else who gets a notification every time someone @s you on twitter and apparently is quite annoyed about this, started getting messaged from friends and family asking why you keep telling them to "fuck off" on twitter.

225. Took all kinds of 'fun' surveys to find out things like which Disney princess or Star Wars character they were, or where they fell in a simplified quadrant of political beliefs, while innocently delivering up scads of personal information later used to directly target and manipulate not just their buying habits, but their votes during elections.

there could be a double dose of hauntology from 20 year old phone texts, first the ghost of the person you used to be and no longer recognise and even more sadly old friends or acquaintances that are actually gone from this earth now.

re: old phones, i actually did recently power up (before finally saying goodbye to) my first cell phone, a solid little flipper owned from 2006 to 2009. most of the txts were from the late end of that period but even that time gap brought a real whoosh of complex feelings about the person i used to be and the friends on the other end (mostly still very fond friends though in less frequent contact).

i have that even just for 2021. a friend died recently and my last text to him, after he couldn't make it to a kids-and-playground meeting, was "hope to see you next time"

Death and the digital world is a weird thing. I'm of an age where I have quite a few people in my phone contacts who are now dead. What do I do, delete their numbers? It doesn't feel quite right. Ditto Facebook friends.
