I definitely agree with a lot of that. I have had an LJ for a long time now, and I like that it really is like a public journal of your thoughts and whatnot. I can keep in touch with real life friends who I don't get to see enough of, and it keeps me in touch with what they are up to, and helps me to get to know people better, by seeing their thoughts that may not come up in everyday conversation.
I have gotten all excited about Facebook. I've caught up with about 50 people from school, who I had assumed that I would never ever see or hear from again, and I love that. But I would definitely develop relationships with these people (if I choose to) away from Facebook. Conversation seems a bit too public, and I'd rather get to know them again through email or GTalk or whatnot. I have gotten into all the apps and colourful play, but I figure that will die down pretty darn quick, and I'll return to my reliable LJ once more, where I'll talk to the people in my life whom I love dearly, and get to know them better and better. ^___^
