Friending Frenzy

Ok, I want to try and experiment. People intermittently post that LJ* is shrinking and the number of posts on their flist keeps dropping. So, let's see if we can huddle together for warmth a bit.

If you're not currently overwhelmed with posts and using 7 filters to keep them under control** then leave a comment underneath saying hi, and a little bit about yourself, and let's see if we can link some people together!

*And Dreamwidth is pretty small comparitively, so I know a fair number of people on there could do with meeting additional people too.
**Yes, I know. But I can't help it. I _like_ people.

Or you could just post, and see what people's reactions are.

After all, this was basically a Tweet:

But that's the thing. I can't. On balance I think impulsive content is a lot better than no content, and often better than deliberated content. But every time I try to post I get cold feet :) I'm not sure why.

I definitely try the "post a one-line update" thing, but only intermittently.

Thinking of it as an experiment may help: I'm not actually posting random stuff, I'm just seeing what would happen if I posted random stuff... And if it turns out interesting, so much the better :)

Good approach - fling stuff out there, see what gets the comments, and then refine your approach from there!
