It seems it's been a slow transition, but it's interesting to see so many people doing the same thing. That's technology for you!

For what its worth, I still feel I get more out of posts like this than <140 character comments.

Fortunately, and I know I'm lucky in this regard, but I never receive game posts in my Facebook feed. Either most of the people I've friended there simply don't play those games, or else the system is being smart and weeding them out for me.

There are a select two dozen or so people whose entries I would welcome in classic journal form other day, but for people I've simply friended for networking I can deal with simple 140 character updates.

I wish LiveJournal would reinvent itself technologically to compete.
