This is tricky because I am a creature of habit. I view my various social media in the same order every time I sit down to have a look, whether once a week or eighteen times a day. I seem to have a limit of how many things I can check - add one and, if I like it, something else falls off. Things that duplicate other things are a problem. Facebook is all about aunties and cousins, with limited sprinklings from other groups (school friends, work acquaintances, newsgroup people, etc) . Livejournal is where I go to find out what people who think in interesting ways are thinking. Now that I think about it, I have only met in-person one of the people I follow in Livejournal. I stopped visiting Twitter when I found how to use Reddit.
Google+ just annoyed me right from the get-go. I am afraid to start Instagram or Pinterest because if I get hooked, something I am currently enjoying will fall off. I can't give up Facebook because that is how all the family reunions and whatnot get organized, and I quite like Lexulous. I don't want to give up Livejournal because I find out about things I would never find out about any other way.
So. Dreamwidth is very close to Livejournal, and the interface is just a little, um. Adding an entry is easy. Reading people I have already added is easy. Finding people that might be interesting to read, no so much. And, mostly, they are already on Livejournal.
So. Here I am. Wasn't that scintillating? What would make Dreamwidth an addition that didn't require the dropping of something else (aside from independent wealth that would free up a lot more time.)? I dunno because I can't quite figure out how to find people I don't know about.
