They are clearly looking to the less-responsible-teenager subset as their target user group! I find that the need to widely publicise comments and the intimate minutiae of one's life in general is inversely proportionate to the intelligence quotient of those comments /snarky

ITA on most of your post; there is a reason why my Failbook account has been dormant for 2 years (and I cannot understand Twitter in principle) - even though I hardly make personal posts on LJ either (with two exceptions so far), I find my LJ persona to be a much more accurate reflection of the real me, and prefer it when it is entirely up to me whether I choose to disclose my name or personal details with people of my choosing whom I got to know on LJ thanks to common interests and/or interesting conversations and not someone random I happened to run into at a stupid party who I could not bring myself to refuse to friend on Failbook
