I actually like Facebook. I have an overwhelming number of family and friends that are there and not here. Yes, there is a lot of meme poisoning. But my personal chatting with people I know is far above what it was here when LJ was at its height. I don't meet many new people on FB but I never did on LJ either. I don't use either for that. Over 90% of the people on my FB list are people I know in the real world.
Yes, LJ is a far superior blog platform. I have a blogspot account for that and more people read it than anything I post on LJ. Again, this is because LJ is dead. I was sorry to see how poorly LJ adapted to the rise of Facebook and Twitter.
At this point my friends feed here consists of a bunch of webcomics and you. I never see anyone else post. I rarely leave comments because I forget to check back into the conversation because the notification system rarely updates properly. It is a feature on FB that I like a lot (no pun intended). If Livejournal were alive and vibrant again I would gladly be here. But for all its faults Facebook is alive and adaptive and filled with people I know.
