I really miss GEnie. I joined only because I was told someone started an RT for me as a filker. So I joined and discovered it was a LOT of fun. I really worked hard to make my RT entertaining and thoughtful. What I liked better about that than LJ is that on GEnie you could follow threads that interested you quite easily. On LJ it is strictly a cult of personality and you follow people but not threads. I miss that. I try to mostly make my LJ entertaining too (except for private posts about my life which is cathartic and/or helpful but not always entertaining! ;-) but without that ability to follow an interesting turn of discussion it is harder to create that feeling of a really great pub conversation.
Sideways and slightly OT (sorry)
