LJ

I'm back in area, so thought I'd start reading this thing again cos many of you don't like managing your social life with facebook and so I'll have to see what's going on by reading it here. *effort*

Anyway, look forward to seeing some of you more than I used to!

Sniff, Cambridge misses you.. Come visit!

You can save yourself some effort/time by getting Facebook to import your
public LJ posts in as notes.

[emilydongray]

just wish you could do it the other way!

Until Facebook grows out of it's Walled Garden mindset, I can't see it
happening. Not unless there's some way that apps can get hold of your
notes, then you could do something clever that way. But I doubt that's
possible.

no no, I don't want to import notes - notes aren't really that useful on facebook anyway.

It's just annoying that some people publicise an event only on LJ or on fb, and you need to be on both to stay in the loop about all social events. To be fair, it's only a few people who publicise through lj these days, hence my reluctant return. I still hate the awful interface with LJ - nothing is easy to do! I have two proper blogs with google's blogspot. It seems lj tries to do too much, making it neither a good publishing tool nor a good social networking site. I am very surprised to go away for two years and come back and nothing has updated or adapted - they really need to get a better team of developers!
