I want them both to work with Benny Blanco

Jonathan and Tal take issue with an obviously snarky photo equation, Erika correctly points out that it may not be snarky (I'm not sure she's right, but she makes a case), and I pitch in with what I think Taylor and Ke$ha may have in common

There's plenty I dislike about the livejournal format; they try to make you pay if you want your blog to be more user friendly (not that I'm sure how they'd make money if they didn't, since I doubt that their ads really bring in much). One thing for sure is that they should find a way for communities to have a full-scale "New Answers" feature, which right now is unavailable no matter how much you pay. For the type of convo I like most, ilX is still the best format by a long-shot; the reason I'm not there more is that most of the people I want to read aren't there as much as they used to be.

What's kept me from tumbling for Tumblr is more the culture than the format, though it's a combination: I simply don't like that everyone's trying to be au courant and is jumping in on today's conversation while stepping aside from convos that are more than one day old. Tumblr does have features by which you can track a conversation over more than a day, as long as someone wants to repost. But as a matter of the way people tend to do things there, old convos are dead convos. And of course this is a problem on lj too, but at least on poptimists there's the habit people have of visiting posts over a week's length of time.

But in general in my musicwrite world, people give up on conversations far too soon, so that when the same issues re-emerge, they seem to always re-emerge in the same spot, wheels as much in need of invention as they were the first time.
