LJ was great in its heyday, but it feels more like an abandoned Old West town now...

I keep up LJ because I've found the journal record useful more than once for things like "when did the upstairs plumbing start going wonky, exactly?", and because there are still people here that I interact with noplace else. But yeah, most of the lively activity these days is either on Twitter, which is a lousy platform for extended discussions, or on Tumblr, which gives me hives.

(And on Facebook, which is fine for shouting at the world, but again, sucks as a platform for discussion. Somebody should bring mailing lists back into fashion, that's what I say.)
