Signal to Noise

Man. LJ has a WAY higher ratio of interesting links and stories and knowledge to crap than Facebook. Even once you block all the game spams that somebody grew a squash in Farmville, but needs your help carrying it to the market!

That's why I don't -do- so-called social networking.

I'm afraid LJ counts for that, too. :)

Not really. LJ was around before the term was created. It's much more individualistic and much less 'shove the network concept down everyone's throat'.

Pfft, I don't need your help carrying the squash, I need you to buy some!

Yah, FB has been more for keeping in contact with friends and family all over. I post some meaningful stuff, but I don't really trust all my family to handle my meaningful stuff well, so there's a lot I wouldn't say there that I used to say here. Except nobody uses LJ anymore (other than you) so I don't say anything here anymore.

I had to unfriend my uncle because he found me so very offensive. And I'm like ten percent as offensive on facebook as I was here!
