Well lookit that!

LJ has a spiffy new Pingback feature! Where LJ users can crosspost to Facebook and Twitter!

And a spiffy new Comments Crossposting feature! So they can crosspost their comments too! And comments on other posts! So your Twitter fans can get links to my posts which are none of their business! And the Facebook friends of your Facebook friends can see what you wrote on my locked posts! What fun, eh?

I mean, me, I don't keep my LJ and my Real Life separate very much, for professional reasons, but I know lots of you DO keep your LJ and your Real Life separate for professional reasons.

So I am urging you non-Dreamwidth people to get Dreamwidth accounts - I have a bunch of invite codes, just ask - and I am really rather seriously considering not commenting on LJ posts any more. Not so much because I think my LJ friends are into this Facepingcrosstweet nonsense, but because evidently LJ is buying into the Facebook model of privacy, i.e. "privacy is sooo twentieth-century." Which I do not have so much time for, frankly.
