Livejournal

[kiranlightpaw]

You know, I remember when Livejournal was, more or less, the center of my online social life. Almost all my friends were on LJ and posted regularly. Especially in "the fandom," it seemed like it was almost a requirement. It was easy, because it was the only thing I had to keep up with. Hell, even when I'd go to a lab at Auburn, LJ was the first thing I'd hit.

These days, my attention is [not so] equally divided between:

• LiveJournal


• Facebook


• Twitter


• A handful of other sites I visit every so often.

Each of these services seems to have their groups of users that don't overlap very much. That is, a lot of people I know on Facebook (which is mostly family and friends "outside the fandom"). Twitter has its own group of people I follow. And then there's LJ, which has always been here. It's just strange how most of these groups don't overlap except peripherally.

It's almost like social networking overload, and I wonder how much more I can subdivide my attention.

Note to self: figure out a way to backup my LJ in case they croak.

If you find an easy, cheap, way to backup LJ entries - and - comments with the entries, please let me know!

These things are supposed to be tools to assist in your social network, not destinations in and of themselves! I've been mulling getting rid of all the RSS feeds and LJ communities that don't really help my social life.

One reason I'm breathing a little easier now that the website and forums are up. BTW, love the navigation you created - it's working perfectly. ^.^
