The easy thing to comment on first: I never like to feel I'm missing out on something. I'm pretty compulsive about refreshing pages and the like, always have my favorite sites up in tabs in my browser. But over Thanksgiving I put away Tumblr and since I've looked at it maybe once or twice a day and I'm finding that I really don't miss it, not at all. For what it's worth, we might be a minority of two with the animated gif photosets. I keep waiting for the mania over them to die down and it's not going away. Even the mania from Texts from Last Night died down, at least marginally, but... yeah.

About tumblr: all I can say is yeah. I also keep certain sites up in tabs and compulsively check while I'm at my computer, but in the weeks before the wedding I gave up on catching up every time I sat back down it after more than an hour or two of being away. And since the animated gifs started dominating my dash I can't say I've missed catching up that much.

Well, that and I'm one of the very few people not especially interested in Doctor Who or Supernatural, but you know that feeling too.

I still prefer livejournal to tumblr. I feel like tumblr's given me more of an opportunity to connect with people with similar interests recently, which I've appreciated, but I have to use the word "connect" loosely because it's only in a very fleeting and superficial way. If it had features that were more... I don't know, conversation-friendly? Then it could stand a chance at really winning me over ( ... )
