I don't know about this crossposting malarkey. I mean, I've set up semagic,and it *works*, but ... I've always posted from the web interface. I have no idea if that makes me weird, but I like not having to switch programs to check that it's all posted okay, and the cut tag worked and it's posted to the right setting(nothing public that was meant to be private and so on.) So, yes, My name is Temaris and I'm a control freak. This is not a surprise to anyone, I think *g*
Am I the only person seeing this as an opportunity to change friending habits? I doubt it. Tempting to regard it almost as like defriending, without the drama. This could lead to trouble as, being perennially lazy, I haven't looked for my flist here or anywhere, to see how many people have made it over, so, in most cases, it's going to be more a matter of hey! I didn't see you! Let me friend you? *puppydog eyes* and nothing to do with wanting to leave people behind *g*.
Eh. What I'd like is a site where I can build the equivalent of a flist out of whatever journalling and blogging sites the people I want to follow use. Platform independent, as it were.
RSS feeds, and most sites that let you build something like a flist don't interfile them by date/time, but batch them: this is the last 5 posts from Beren and this is the ones from Claire, and these are Logovo's. It becomes a mind dump, not a timeline, and somehow, to me, it loses some of that participatory,interactive *community* sense that I liked so much on LJ. One of the things I like about the friendslist is the way is basically updates in realtime with what the current things of interest to my flist are. It doesn't batch them by topic or fandom or person. It feels more like a real community, albeit one that is constructed by my choices of who and what to friend. But that's true of any social reality -- community is different to every person -- we overlap but never match. Perceptual relationships, virtual relationships ...
I think that the aggregator that makes a platform independent equivalent of the friendslist might turn out to be my preferred platform. Use Open ID on everything, and interlock my own social network onto a public page. I sort of hoped Ning would do something like,but I'm not convinced that they offer anything significantly new. I'm waiting to see what happens with Scribblit.
Also: I think I need to change my Journalfen layout. *winces*
