Guess I'll just stay here

[johnridley]

Since you all are here, I think here is where I'll stay. As I commented earlier, if I wanted to just post stuff that nobody would read, I'd just use the WordPress install that I tossed up on my site. WordPress is an extraordinary piece of software; powerful, beautiful in execution, and absolutely trivial to install. But if nobody reads it, who cares?

I stay because I like the format, there are a lot of people I enjoy reading here, and because I have a Permanent account. I also hang out at FaceBook, but tend to post about different things there.

I like the format too, but there are several other sites that are pretty much identical, they all run on the LJ codebase. Dreamwidth is one, InsaneJournal, DeadJournal, and others.

They're so close that they have the same underlying API and data structures. I use a simple script to mirror my LJ posts to an InsaneJournal clone account.

As I said, I'm going to stay here because of the people here.

I just can't get that excited about Facebook. Too noisy. I find that I go there less and less frequently, and when I go there I get bored before I make it very far. I generally post one or two replies and then just wander off. It's probably because almost everything posted there is uninteresting trivia.
