Is LJ dead?
Sometimes I wonder if all of my friends have abandoned LJ for Facebook. My Space didn't kill LJ, but that might be because it was too customizable at a time when most people had dial-up and loading pages on My Space took forever. But Facebook might have done it. My communities still update, but less frequently than they used to.
I hate Facebook. I hate its layout, there's too much going on everywhere on it that I just can't be bothered with it. I only have an account because Rich set one up for me to use as a dumping ground/friend for his applications.
What really pissed me off is when Witchvox decided to move their news updates there. That was pretty much why I checked Witchvox everyday, most of their own posted essays are too fluffy, but I liked knowing what was going on in the Pagan community. I haven't bothered with Witchvox in some months. They may have lost a good bit of traffic on their main site because of the change. If people, like me, used it for news (and if unlike me, they use Facebook)then they have no reason to go to the site other than to see if there are events in their area.
Facebook involves too many things. Yet, I guess in this world of Twitter and the like, it's what we get and it's what people like. I'm just not like most people. I like simplicity. FaceBook is not simple.
