What I’d like in social media

[cjsmith]

I’m realizing this morning that social media isn’t social. It’s news, or at least the best most of us get for news. (And a poor and unreputable aggregator it is, but that’s another topic.)

What I miss most about social media of days gone by is social contact. There aren’t places like that now. Does anyone even have time for that?

I sometimes tweet my personal status, and I use DW exclusively for personal stuff.

So, I guess, yeah, I miss it too, since DW is insufficiently populated.

Same here (minus the tweeting; I never did get started with that). I wish this place were as populated as LiveJournal used to be.
