@krusynth totally agree! with your sentiments!

@krusynth I do find the loss of some sting more than others though. LJ continues to hold a particular place in my heart though I've never been certain if it's because it was in my life at a particularly positive time, it held a particular subset of friends, or perhaps a bit of both. But you're right, the sites come and go but if you're lucky, some of the friendships and relationships forged will come with you.

@krusynth I'm still bitter about google+. Circles were quite interesting. And then it came out of nowhere..

@krusynth Google Groups was so much better organized than Facebook! I was sad it didn’t last.
