Julie and I have had this conversation on several occasions

*In order to get the full effect of this comic, please imagine background music with some light acoustic guitar strumming and a gentle female voice singing some 'Ooh La La Lah Lah Lah,' type stuff.

We bought Simon Schama: A History of Britain on DVD. And then downloaded it as well, so that we could watch it in bed or on the TV without having to go find the right disc. And Netflix is even better at remembering the minute that you're up to.

I seem to be detecting a pattern

Four different people have posted to LJ over the last couple of days, for the first time in aaaages. All of them talking about how Facebook doesn't feel safe, and with a mixture of "The people on LJ are more like friends" and "The way that discussions work on LJ feels safer and more considered than FB."

Which makes me rather happy.

This may be a blip, on the long downward trend, but actually there's still a fair bit of activity on my friends list, and Livejournal definitely sees more long-form writing than FB ever has - which is what I generally prefer.

OTOH, [livejournal.com profile] stevegreen is using LJ for FB (and even Twitter)-sized chunks of text, and it seems to be working very well for him.

Which also makes me happy.
