I really don't care what the features of your site are as long as I can still comment, and somebody's set up an RSS feed on LJ. (Or Nick's fancy dual-post trick, but I have no idea how that works.)</p> Nick did a nice job by making it easy for LJ-only people to continue reading his blog.

My main problem with it is that it doesn't seem to have the same integration with Wordpress blogs not hosted on Wordpress.com. I hope that they fix that!</p> I think WordPress.com may be actively trying to set itself up as a Livejournal replacement, and it may be getting relatively close.

Because of a random mundane comment I made about a radio show I listened to, I ended up getting involved in WBUR’s social media forays, which has been fascinating.

And yes, the short turnaround time interests me more than “real” blogging.
