State of the LJ

[valis2]

So where is everybody these days?

I'm just wondering. I have accounts at JF, IJ, DW, FB, Twitter. I don't do fannish stuff on FB & Twitter, but I'm not certain there's much of a fannish presence there, considering the size of fics and such.

I haven't been monitoring IJ or DW at all.

Is DW growing? Are there more fics and fans to be found there? Should I start watching DW again?

What are your fannish social media habits like right now, flist? I'm very curious.

ETA: Oh, and where are you archiving? I'm really liking AO3, personally, and I'm seeing that some fandoms are using it more and more.

LJ, deviantART, Blogspot. Blogspot annoys me by not having a flist :-). But as a blog it's pretty nice, especially since you can now add "pages" to it.

I used to have an IJ, but I closed it because it was visited by no more than two people and they are also on LJ. I'm one of a handful of people who are still fornd of LJ, I guess...

I'm too verbose for Twitter. If I don't have anything much to say, I just keep my mouth shut ;-). And I do have a FB, mainly to keep in touch with ex-colleagues - not fandom.

Blogspot is definitely nice, though I definitely like LJ's flist option better. I ended up setting up Google Reader and using that to aggregate my blogs, and it works very nicely. Especially because there are no filters/flocked entries, so GR can just pull everything in. I wish I could use it for LJ, lol!

Twitter is so hard to get the hang of. I always want to write more than I can! The only reason I use it is for business; otherwise I never would have signed up. :)
