Tumblr is a good place to find pictures of all sorts of weird things, which is nice.

I haven't figured out how exactly people interact on Tumblr, though. They just reblog or something, and reposting a picture isn't really reblogging to me anyway, even if you add a six-word comment. It's like Facebook reposting, only with "dirty" pictures allowed.

Either way, I want more than that.

Truthfully, I haven't figured out Dreamwidth, either. I can follow people, but it does me no good, because I never see their stuff, get no notifications, have no feed page like I have here. I can comment if someone points me in the direction of a good post, but that's about it.

For fandom, I like livejournal.

So, I basically switched over to DW. I subscribe on DW to everyone I follow who crossposts on DW; I have LJ email notifications set up for the LJ people who decided not to mirror/go to DW (which is totally ok with me!) so I know when they post, and then I just read my DW reading page. The experience is similar to me, though DW has historically broken my browser somewhat less.

Aw I'm touched you get emails for me! Or you fake interest well LOL.

For a while I couldn't take your polls (see aforementioned LJ's tendency to break my browser) but I even saved them in bookmarks when I wasn't caught up on SPN because I always enjoy them!

Yeah, the reading page - one central place to read like the lj newsfeed. I don't get that. Maybe I'm just not signed up right or something.

I have http://rivkat.dreamwidth.org/read -- do you have that?

[lanalucy]

Hmm. Yeah. I had to hunt for it, but I found one for me. I think I just have to frak around with it more to learn how to use it. I'm sure it's much easier than it seems from this side of the learning curve. lol

Thanks.
