anniversary

[lizziebelle]

Today is my 6th LJ anniversary. 6 years! Happy anniversary to me. :)

I love the friends and communities I have found here. I've enjoyed getting to know RL friends better here. I like being able to share the highlights (and lowlights) of my life, and how supportive everyone is. I appreciate having a place where I can share my photos, and getting feedback on them. Most of all, I enjoy reading about everyone's triumphs and struggles, and connecting on an emotional level with people I've never even met. You all rock.

Happy LJ anniversary indeed!

I hear a lot of criticism of online social communities, but I have to say that as a sometimes shy person, the ones I use have helped me to get to know some people better that I see in person occasionally but have sometimes not had the nerve to talk to... and reconnect with old friends who are no longer nearby.

Thanks!

I think it's all in how you use them. The critics only see the silliness that makes the news, not the actual human connections made.

happy LJ anniversary to you!

it's funny. i was at a party last weekend and everyone there said something to the effect of "why did we leave LJ for FB? LJ is so much better designed!" i think people are starting to see the value again. that makes me happy.

Thanks!

I like FB for keeping up with friends & family who aren't on LJ, and for posting short bits. LJ is so much better for thoughtful discussion and sharing things that take longer than a few seconds to digest. :)

Happy LJ Anniversary!

Wow, six years is a long time to blog! Well done indeed!

Thanks! I think the interactive nature of LJ is what has kept me with it. If I didn't get feedback, I would probably have dropped it long ago.
