Y'know what I wish we had instead of Facebook?

I wish there was some social media website out there that allowed you to see ALL of your friends updates in a chronological order rather than this weird mix-n-match "News Feed" stuff where Facebook decides who you want to hear about.

I wish there were a way to opt out of all the constant advertising, even if it meant having to pay for the service (although you could still get the service for free with ads).

I wish there were an option that wasn't just strip-mining me for data to sell to third parties.

I wish that there was more room for my updates, allowing me to actually WRITE rather than just jotting down notes if I want to.

OH WAIT THERE IS! IT'S LIVEJOURNAL!

Exactly... It's the BARE MINIMUM of acknowledgment. It's a raising of the eyebrows. It's a subtle nod.

But that's all some people can do, I guess... not everybody enjoys words and sentences and thought-out replies. If we all did, then we'd all be writers?
