Looks like I'm gonna have to keep up with My Space....update and stuff. I've had 6 requests from here to be added. Who keeps livejournal? I do up date that one.

Although I do rather like the pics one certain member had on my space...so did hubby

I think we may have more members on xanga than LJ.

I love my LJ. It took me awhile to get to Xanga, and then it was only because all of my local friends were Xanga-nites. I still prefer LJ, because of the way the communities are set up. When you join a Xanga community there isn't an option for community specific posting.

I refuse to join my space. REFUSE, I say.

I'm abreeskye on all three

It took me a while to give in and get a xanga also....I still prefer livejournal.

I don't check myspace as often as the others...

Myspace is OK, but strikes me as vaguely pointless and superficial. http://www.myspace.com/droneforever

I like Xanga, because the focus is on entries, not (usually) on pictures and endless icons of bands you like.

i'm getting pretty tired of the community weblogs. not the community itself (well, not mostly) but the sites that host them.

to put it in a way most of their users could understand: THEY R TEH GHEY......................../ HAHA!!1one

I have a xanga and a myspace. I have found myspace to be a great networking tool. I technically have a Live Journal, but it is a real bitch to navigate, so I never use it.

i do have to admit that, from a developer's point of view, live/deadjournal does have a nicer, open source API out there. don't feel like going to the damn site to post on your 'blog? don't even want to load a browser to do so? doesn't matter - there are plenty of clients already written that are freely available, and it's fairly easy to write your own for *insert device here*, if you're so inclined.

the fact that few-to-none of the community 'blogs play nicely together (i.e., you have to sign up for each and every goddamn one of them) bothers me, but thus far hasn't seemed important enough to develop some kind of bridge between them, like a botnet or similar fixes that've been implemented for irc for years.

as far as individuality - and even usability and viewability, if you set it up properly - is concerned... imho, movable type is still the way to go, assuming you're skilled enough to host and install it on your own. for that matter, again assuming one is technically inclined, if you have an old *nix box laying around, and are familiar with mysql, it's not that hard to code your own, as long as you don't want to idiot-proof the content management (re: posting) part of it.

i guess the one thing i really miss about weblogs is that they all used to be different. sure, everyone still bitched about the same old thing, but because no one at the time had went out of their way to make it a luser-friendly experience, people tended to be more creative when they setup a 'blog, partly because of the effort involved in setting the thing up.
