For the Nth time in my life, I'm considering leaving livejournal to blog elsewhere. I'm not sure where.. I could use Blogger or I could use wordpress on magicspatula.
This new desire comes from setting up FriendFeed tonight, as well as starting to update my Google Reader Shared Items. I'm using this journal as a manual aggregator for things I find notable: "here's an article I found interesting", "here are some pictures I took", etc. Reader's shared items has some javascript you can embed on your page to make them show up with your blog, but I can't put that into livejournal, because they strip out javascript. I want more control, and I want to be able to integrate all of my stuff into one place.
Anyway, FriendFeed is worth a look... it's sorta like the news feed in Facebook, but for actual sites, so I can see someone's photos, blog posts, gtalk status messages, etc, in one stream. It's a lot like beacon, except it's completely opt-in for everyone and you get a feed you can read (instead of being forced to visit the site all the time). It'll be interesting to see where they go with it.
Facebook mega-rant coming within one week, get ready.
