Anyone Still Out There?

[bjarvis]

It's been a long time since I've posted anything in LiveJournal. Essentially, I've been really busy and LJ began to lose its utility & interest in my life.

I had begun to focus my attention on Google+, made some updates to FaceBook esp for my freelance square dance calling, spending more time on Twitter and joined Instagram. Each has their own strengths & weaknesses... none of them give me everything I want in a social media experience, but all address a part.

But I've come back to LJ, by accident and by design. By accident, in that I was being notified by LJ that my account was being attacked/hijacked by someone in Poland so it was clearly time to update my passwords. By design in that this is the only social media outlet I use which is designed for long form writing. Indeed, all other formats enforce short snippets (esp Twitter).

To sum up, I miss writing & reading longer & more thoughtful pieces here. My life doesn't fit into 140 characters.

Anyone else still here?

Still here too, but mostly lurking. I should fix that.
