LJ has, in many ways, basically replaced heavy-traffic mailing lists, just in the couple of years I've been in fandom, and allows me to sort of create-my-own fandom experience.
That's a really cool way of describing the benefits of LJ. I, too, tried mailing lists and found that all the stuff in my inbox was crazy to keep up with. I still find myself deleting randomly within the mailing lists that I'm still part of because of time consumption.
if there's a good discussion on, will leave the window with that post open until the discussion peters out.
Good tip. I usually log out and check back later only to find that the discussion has spiralled out of control.
Do you use the filter system? Just curious to know if that works well as a way of managing information or do you still end up in the same bind with too many LJ's to keep track of.
