From:

I didn't mean to imply that it was an either/or thing: EITHER people post long intimate well-written posts, OR nothing will happen.

As I said, short lively posts and lots of commenting are a great way to keep the communities alive, period.

But from what I'm seeing, people LIKE being spread thin. They love embracing all these different fun places to play online. People seem to juggle a bunch of platforms for different purposes.

Tumblr by its design doesn't allow for threaded conversations, which is what I love about DW and other blogs.

Also is it showing my age that something ten years old can be seriously called old-fashioned? LOL.

Facebook does and doesn't interact with myfandom communities, because of the pseudonym culture.

But what I'm seeing is people loving being able to play in so many places. WHich is not what I'm about at all! So I'm the outlier here I think. Thanks again for the post.
