Facebook Is Interfering with My Blogging Habit

[sarabellae]

I have to admit it: I like Facebook. I like having tiny connections with friends spread far and wide. Some of them I'm in regular contact with anyway, but some are people I would never see, never email, never call, or receive such messages in return. We are all so busy, so wrapped up in our adult lives of responsibility, whatever form that may take

You're awesome! Thank you for posting on Live Journal.

I will be sad if we lose your LJ post. I really enjoy your family posts and frequent displays of wit.

I admit, I keep up with Facebook a lot more right now than I do LJ, but I really enjoy the longer entries on LJ a lot more. The longer entries reflect a different amount of energy and motivation than do the brief FB updates.

I'm not on FB, so please, please keep posting here! *smooch*

What a great post! I know what you mean about Facebook. I have decided to only check on there and update once per day now, and to not do any quizzes or games. Seems to have helped quite a bit! Good luck balancing all of the online stuff...Facebook can be a really positive way to connect with friends.

You know, I think of Facebook and LiveJournal as having two entirely different purposes. Facebook is "public." My mother is there, my coworkers are there, everybody is there. It's the shopping mall food court of my blogging world. A little too brightly lit, a little too designed to render a positive "consumer experience."

LiveJournal is my coffee house. It's for talking, it's for digging around in the dirt, it's for poetry and angst and hashing things out. It's for honing writing skills and using all the punctuation.

I adore your posts, and will eagerly read you wherever I can find you. I love reading about your boys, and your relationships, your sense of place, your sense of love.
