Anime and the not-so-real worldcapybaronMarch 24 2008, 21:56:50 UTC
Somehow, I missed this boycott thing, though I have been scanning a few posts on my return from AnimeBoston (about which I have mixed feelings). Are you planning another dinner outing in this InsaneJournal?
I mostly stick around here because many of my friends are permanently ingrained in LJ, and I'd still have to come back here every day or two to monitor their goings-on. I've never seriously looked into the possibility of setting up an RSS-feedable, password-protected journal on my own server, but I think about it every now and then.
Yeah, most of my friends are still here too. I can make the effort to keep reading those few who i can only get on IJ, but until there are service-agnostic readers, i'm sticking where the critical mass is :)
(that said i now have to pay more attention to tribe, and certainly hope I'm not dragged into any association with facebook. Myspace is icky, but it may come to that for circus networking. Yargh.)
I deleted my Myspace once the Ex started putting his manwhore photos back on and getting comments from hookup buddies. The temptation to torture myself was just too great. It's such a hideous site anyway that I really didn't mind kiboshing myself.
I'm sure there are better ways to administer private journals. I'm just not up on that sort of thing.
well, self-hosting private journals is fine too but there's no easy and nice way to knit them all together like just having an flist. Yeah, rss, but that's not all interactive and easy to use yet. It will come, we hope.
Till then, sandy, I'll either go out of my way to check yours, or sign up for it as a feed.
(damn, now i want to go look and pretty manwhore photos... i am a Bad Person!) but, myspace pages are ugly.
Wow, I disappear for a day and return to find all these comments! It is true, most of my friends are still on LJ, except the one who was banned--LJ dumped her *after* she paid for the fancy LJ account. It seems their techies confused her with a bad troll, because apparently LJ techs don't look at IP addresses when deciding someone is guilty.
OK, Tribe: I like LJ: sensesurfer convinced me to join MySpace & Facebook & WordPress: nope
How does anyone have a life when involved in all these social sites? When is someone going to design a tool where you can write your daily comments, add pics & links, and the tool will post it on all the social sites you participate in? I know someone out there must be working on this!

Bunnies are very confused this year.
