Dropping El Jay

Oct 06, 2010 13:43

I think I'm gonna join the bandwagon and drop el jay. I don't see a point in posting here if no one's reading it, and it's no longer fun if zero of my friends ever post here (or so rarely or so few it's just plain silly ( Read more... )

I read. Fewer people are posting, and I frequently don't comment, but I do read.

Same here. I read it. Just haven't posted much lately. But, when I do, it's largely for me rather than others.

I'm wanting to close up more these days, because I think I've become too transparent on things that people don't really need to know. I hope to start posting more again, once I can find that balance.

I don't think anyone has the attention span for this kind of media any more - post a pic or a bullet item (keep it under 140 characters please). Refection, contemplation so focused on the past, or setting up expectations for the future - where twitter and stati are in the now

Hahaha, there's the attention span for a typical el jay entry, and then there's the attention span required for either a novella or one of MY entries, which is a toss-up.

Well, I still think variety is the spice of life, so I'm gonna miss this more long-form stuff as part of the mix.

Ooooh! I like that thought that status updates are more about the "now". Never considered it that way before. :)

I read. Just haven't had much worth posting that hasn't already come out piecemeal on "that other site". I miss the archival quality of posting to a blog though.

From what I was gathering while looking through old posts of yours for photos it seems they were uploaded to a service like photobucket or imageshack that is not part of El Jay... The photos were never hosted on El Jay and therefore only show up in your posts as long as they exist on these other services. You should look into using Flickr or some other service that won't delete your pix in a matter of weeks and not blame El Jay for something it didn't do ;)
