LJ Lively Today

Oct 10, 2010 13:32

My Friends Page has a number of entries and
I'm glad. I was afraid LJ had been made
redundant by Facebook and Twitter.

I haven't gotten on either one of those and
probably won't. LJ is just my speed. I enjoy
reading the different kinds of journal entries,
much more personal it seems to me.

Hope there's an LJ revival.

Oh me too.

I have read your recent entries, and was very happy to see you back, but felt I didn't really know you well enough to comment meaningfully on such emotional subjects just yet - you might have been inclined to go "Who? Why is this person commenting here?".

Once I friend someone, I really want
them to feel welcome to comment. So
glad to see you!

I am in complete agreement with you about LJ but then I'm an LJ loyalist from way back. Some of my best in person friends have come form this place and as long as it's here I will be as well.
Yes, it does seem as if today has been more lively.
:)
I personally know lots of folks who are finding FB superficial these days and are coming back here more often.

That's good news. I've missed being here,
missed all of you very much.

I try to check FB every so often, since that's about the only contact I have any more with my niece and nephew, but it doesn't work as well as LJ, I think.

If that was how I communicated with loved ones,
then I'd be on it but I'm sure glad you still
use LJ, too!

I think they all have their places... I arrange a lot of social things through Facebook, for instance. I think it's true that Livejournal traffic has slowed down, but most of the people I care about are still here... And if your friends list gets slow, maybe it's a good excuse to find some new friends! :)

New Friends mizannie October 11 2010, 13:44:59 UTC

I've been fortunate to find some new LJ friends,
so hopefully LJ has a long way to go before it
is caput. Sure, Facebook and Twitter are very
useful but I think for me LJ is it. I'm a
walking anachronism, longing for the days of
pen and paper and dial telephones!

I use FB a lot, but I'm making an effort to come back here more often now and check in. I'll try to catch my friends' posts even if I don't post frequently. Really glad to see you posting again!!

FB and LJ are really very different. It's
gonna' take someone with a lot of patience
to step me through FB if I ever get to that.
I remember how hard LJ was for me and were it
not for daisydumont and seraphimsigrist, I'd've never
gotten the hang if it. I drove 'em nuts asking
formatting and other goofy questions. seraphimsigrist
even had to tell me how to use my browseer and
how to refresh the page. But, I finally got it!
