I'm just curious cause I've used a couple blogging sites before, but I always seem to find myself back on LiveJournal because it's so easy to use, seemingly has so many more options, and just because that's the one I've been using for as long as I can remember. Which do you prefer and why? _________________ Be happy, be contagious. |

I like WordPress and Tumblr the best. If Tumblr had a real commenting system, I'd like it more, though. So I never can stick to it. I like Twitter a lot, but don't consider it a full blog. So I'm voting "other" for WordPress. _________________ My photography:www.jamiemphoto.com You can't spell awesome without emo...backwards! -Julie definingawesome (11:44:11 PM): Eisley shivers our timbers |

i like twitter right now. mostly because of i can use a 3rd party app to post and follow with it. if i had to go to the website each time i wanted to post i probably wouldn't use it. i know livejournal had apps for posting, does anyone know of one for blogger/blogspot? _________________ http://www.facebook.com/thismirage http://www.last.fm/user/thismirage http://twitter.com/thismirage |

wordpress. For exactly the same reason I prefer Myspace over Bebo and Myspace and Google over ask jeeves or Yahoo: it's clean, simple, unfussy, and simple to use. You also can't add five thousand things to the page to make it the messiest website ever. I might even say it was... elegant... Certainly it's name suggests more maturity than any of the others. I've used livejournal, found it a pain to use. I found xanga horrible. And myspace was such a hassle to use. Facebook isn't a proper blog... I would rather have a single webspace for my blog. One that people can bookmark... Wordpress for me! _________________ She is handsome, she is pretty, she is the girl from Belfast City, she is courtin' one two three, please won't you tell me who is she?

i use livejournal and have since 2004 - i dunno it's just something that's so basic and easy for me to just vent. I'm still running my livejournal on S1 so it's still extremely basic. most of my friends use it which is handy and i like the groups too, for colleges n stuff, so i can get questions answered or just read about the school i'll be going to. i like the simplicity of it really, i mean...it can get technical if you REALLY want to css that journal up and make it pretty, but i leave that to my deviantart journal. I like that i can check up on friends easily too. I also have a blogspot for my sketch art and that's it really :/ i'm to used to livejournal to really get something else. _________________ Saellys wrote: You misunderstood.

I use my LiveJournal more than anything else right now. While I initially balked at the bland site design and low customizability, LJ won me over with its communities. Facebook and MySpace and Google's groups systems have none of the charm or ease of use of LiveJournal's communities. While my personal LJ is friends-only and sparsely updated, I'm extremely active in various groups. I have a couple Tumblrs and WordPresses floating around for different purposes, but I really don't use them. _________________ INTELLECT AND ROMANCE OVER BRUTE FORCE AND CYNICISM Smokemonster |

I couldn't agree more. I think the groups are good to have, and it seems like they're the only blogging site with such active/helpful communities. _________________ Be happy, be contagious. |

I have an xanga, a myspace, a facebook, and a livejournal. And I use them all for different types of blogging. Xanga is personal, as myspace and facebook for me are for friends from school and such, and livejournal is for me to talk to others with other interests as me. _________________ http://www.flickr.com/photos/karatherecluse http://www.rosewhiteboyhood.tumblr.com |

Xanga is personal, as myspace and facebook for me are for friends from school and such, and livejournal is for me to talk to others with other interests as me. Same here. Well, I barely use my xanga blog anymore. I've had it since like '03 or '04. I don't really use livejournal that much either, never got into it. I use Facebook and Myspace the most. I've had them since before they became popular to have and I have friends in college that I like to keep up with. Myspace is to discover new music. Twitter is to follow Imogen Heap. I've also had a twitter for a long while. I guess I'm always ahead of the curb. Hmm... _________________ cynlovescandy wrote: kulvir wrote: I bet R. Kelly approves of peeing in the shower.
