A Late Response
Reading THIS ARTICLE and as it's rather old I have this to say in response here:
Communities man. Communities. They're like mega blogs, but almost everyone who wants to have posting access can reveal all the juicy tidbits they/found have. Much easier than following a gazillion RSS feeds, no?
Besides, LJ is easy for lazy people like me. I don't want to take time coding. *scoff* I don't care THAT much or have such important things to say they warrant my own blog.
