astromachy and manonlechat, happy birthday to shalna, and happy early birthday to estellye, green_key, reynardine, brandaluna, arisbe, dirtwitch, and dominique012. May you enjoy many happy returns of the day!
I appreciated this post comparing Tumblr and LiveJournal (and I think the comparison holds true for other blogging platforms, as well).

It seems to me that the two accomplish different objectives, and one isn't a substitute for the other. Here's the post: "Why You Shouldn't Abandon LJ for Tumblr."
