It's an Empty Place

Went back to LJ's homepage for the first time in a while. I note the new look, and I've got to admit it looks better than it once did, but it doesn't seem to be doing much in the way of improving the content on the site. The problem with LJ was never really the appearance, it was that everyone on it just sort of left for a whole host of reasons. The way it looks and acts only papers over the fact that most of the non-ONTD communities are sort of dead.

Well, I guess of those two there's only one problem you can really fix. Who knows?

I've occasionally had a look at Tumblr and I've always been baffled by the sheer visual *noise*. I also don't grasp how actual communication is supposed to occur -- it just seems like people like things or reblog them endlessly.

Possibly this is yet more proof that I am old and curmudgeonly, but I prefer to be able to address whoever I am interacting with, not just act as an echo chamber.
