The rhetoric major in me lol'd at this one

So.

On the rumors of LJ shutting down (which, by the way, are not true):

I read through quite a few comments on the article, and I was shocked by the number of people who claimed LJ is "not a networking site."

All I can say to these people is, check your definitions.

Then I laughed a lot, as this is yet another example of people spouting off about what they don't know or understand.

In other news, I have safely returned to Pepperdine and need to haul my rear out of bed for Convo tomorrow morning. Huz-zah.

Oh dear XD Isn't it wonderful when people do that?

You know one of those article doesn't mention Livejournal. XD;;;

How much LJ is a social network kinda depends how you use LJ, though. It's fully possible on here to sit there with only a couple people friended and that's that. Unlike Facebook where it actively tries to suggest people friend and it's easy for others who know you to friend and all that.

Either way, LJ =/= Facebook by a LOT. And I do agree with people's comments that LJ should stop trying to add Facebook like abilities, cause it isn't the same, because it's not.

I wish more would come back to LJ. I'm coming to really hate Facebook.
