Last LJ Entry for Awhile

[giza]

As fun as LiveJournal has been over the years, it is increasingly being overshadowed by the likes of Facebook and Twitter, and even Tumblr a bit. I've seen many friends posting less and less here on LJ, and it seems I'm doing the same myself

This makes me sad. LJ is still the best site for outright journaling there is.

Twitter is too limited and is best for short anecdotes.

Facebook has that real name culture that I don't care for, and is way too "busy". I hardly have any friends listed as I hardly use the site and am still amazed at the quantity of stuff in the stream!

The more people leave here, the more it spirals downwards until LJ will be completely irrelevant outside of Russia. :(

No disagreement there, but LJ simply hasn't kept up with the times. They had a great lead in 2002 but squandered it, and the next you thing you knew, MySpace was eating their lunch. Then Facebook and Twitter.

Screw failbook, and twitter is worthless for much of anything beyond a quick herpderp. Bad cheopard!

I sent you a friend request on Facebook a while back. It's still pending approval by you.

I don't know your real name. You'll need to PM that to me.

It's in my LJ user profile.

twitter and facebook = fail!

Disparaging comments really don't help the discussion any. :-/
