A new social network

[treonb]

While I'm pondering the LJ situation, and why DW is not the best solution for me, it occurred to me that I could start up my own fan-oriented network.  Not the easiest thing, but not impossible either, I hope

Various (and variable) privacy settings. I don't like how you can't friends lock (or equivalent) specific tweets on Twitter or posts on Tumblr.

This seems like a huge undertaking...

It is a huge undertaking, that's why I'm trying to test the waters first. If my fan friends say they won't use such a thing, then it's really not worth the effort. But if there's a need for it and people might use it, then it might be worth it.

Well, if it's a useful datapoint, the truth is I'm probably too lazy to switch from the existing web of DW/LJ comms and journals that I already follow.

[treonb]

Yes, it's important to know. Is there anything that would convince you otherwise? If the comms go, would you go with them?

If I had a new show I was excited about and I wanted to find other fans, I might, but I'm so used to being on the outer fringes of White Collar fandom that if it upped stakes and moved, I probably wouldn't notice. Maybe it already has. ;-P

(Sorry if that was excessively downbeat.)
