I've also looked at what Livejournal has to offer. And to be honest, I'm not impressed. Everything I can get from Livejournal I could easily add myself (Like mood icons and such,) if I could find an adequate source for images. The comments feature I wrote myself, and I may add voting to my blog at some date, which is a paid feature on Livejournal. But it does have better community management tools than Blogger does... But that's what the link component is for. Besides, most of my friends have their sites here on the NQIG server, or on Oniakki's server. Either way that means that linking to them is easy. I like the image avatars on the comments, but I have a forum for that, the comments are just a way for me to get responses to my daily life, which is, expectantly not really that interesting anyway. But then again, my blog is about more than just my life. If it where, then it would just be a journal, and livejournal, or even my old news page would have sufficed. But, like I said, it's much more than that. It's a reflection on my own opinions, ideals, and viewpoints. A place for me to discuss topics that interest me. Side note: I did this before, but people give me funny looks when I'm giving myself a lecture on the disappearance of honor in modern western society. Here they say I'm Blogging and discussing world issues, there they say I'm a frickin' loon... ^_^;;;
In any case I've decided I will not start a livejournal, or if I do, it's just so I can have the nifty graphic avatar and a name when I comment on other people's livejournals.
Oh, and I'm thinking I might change my blog to "What Would Sarrl Do?" and switch out my random comment for a What Would Sarrl Do remark and describe how he'd react. Or I might just leave it Spiney Wisdom, and use the What Would Sarrl Do thing occassionally in response to dellima posts and not for standard statement posts and news posts...
WWSD*: Create his own blogging company, then covertly hire hackers to interfere with the pay for use systems of the other companies, thus eliminating the Blogger/Livejournal choice and leaving only Sarrlgging.com.
