Social Media Survey

[redjo]

Like many these days, I'm on several social media platforms. I'm trying to figure out if I can consolidate my online life, or if I have to compartmentalize it according to some guidelines yet to be worked out. I'm asking this on Facebook, Google+, and LiveJournal, so please feel free to answer this in any of those three locations

I answered on G+ :-}. I believe that I should be on Dreamwidth (for a mild version of "should") but following people on Dreamwidth is easy because of the cross-posting. I'm not sure they follow me here or see my comments here, though.

i read you here!
i very occasionally post on G+ and read fairly thoroughly there.
i skim FB and never post there.

i love the long format, the threaded comments, the history, and the user experience (modulo the DOSs...)

I read you here. I have a Dreamwidth account, but don't read anyone there. Else, I'm acquaz on Twitter. I have a Google+ account and read people's stuff there, and very occasionally comment, but am otherwise not comfortable using it because of Google's eerie big-brotherishness there. I'm not on facebook.

For me, the strengths of LJ are the ability to lock posts to a certain group of people (more intricate than friendslocking, or locking down an entire account) and its amenability to longer prose. My primary use of this channel can be summed up as epistolary, with the occasional quip.

I read LJ for the long personal stuff, G+ for the shares and quick stuff, and avoid FB like the plague.

I do read you. Mostly here, though I often skim FB. I'm on G+, but quit reading there back in the nym wars days (because that was the extent of content.) ALso on Dreamwidth but again, I never sign on there.

LJ is still my primary social media. FWIW, I believe it is better suited to longer, more thoughtful discussion, which is what I prefer.
