LJ is also nice to find random acquaintances. I have LJ 'friends' that I found through groups for mutual interests, and I always enjoy having that glimpse into their lives. I skim a lot, because not every detail of their lives interest me, but I love that I'll learn perspectives from other parts of the world on different events, see what it's like living other places, or learn about things I hadn't seen on the news (for instance, ash from the Chilean volcano has been seen over Buenos Aires, and has formed a thin coating on some cars).
