Just posted a poll about newspapers

[andrewducker]

It's over on LJ.

Oh, how I look forward to the day when I get more comments on DW than LJ, and can switch over.

Is there a noticeable drift in this direction?

[andrewducker]

Not that I can see.

Lots of people now post in both places. but everyone comments on the LJ side.

Theoretically, you can run regular imports and bring all LJ comments over here-you could even try changing footer text or even turning comments off there for a bit (say you're getting too much spam there or something).

Sometimes, people just need a prod.

I'm not going to lie to people to get them to use my website the way I want them to :->

I could turn off comments. But that seems more likely to annoy people than anything else.

(Also, I've just rembered that DW is blocked at work, while LJ isn't. Dunno why, but it makes it handier for me to have people commenting on LJ for the moment.)

I always read your posts here, but then click through to LJ to see the comments -- and 90% of the time I end up commenting there because that's where the discussion is. If the discussion was here the discussion would be here, IYSWIM...

[andrewducker]

Yup. I agree. If work unbans Dreamwidth then I'll do a trial week and see how it runs.

I get about 40% of my news from people linking to it, 20% each from TV, radio, and people talking to me.

My parents had newspaper subscriptions when I was a kid, but the few times I've bought a newspaper myself, I think it was for the Classifieds rather than for news. I mainly got my news from TV while growing up.

Nowadays, I donate money to a few TV stations and a certain news show, to support them, even though I don't watch them much anymore. If I regularly relied on other websites for my news, I'd be willing to donate or subscribe to them too.
