I just want
Pinterest's interface with
Pinboard's tagging capability, and for that to somehow magically merge with Tumblr. I hate having things spread out like this. Pinboard is the best for organization, but it's ugly and really not good for organizing pictures. Pinterest has a gorgeous interface, but it's only good for certain types of organizing, and I really don't understand how its tagging system works. Tumblr is almost like a hybrid of them both (albeit one predating both), but it's not as pretty as Pinterest and its tagging system is not nearly as nice as Pinboard.
Perhaps because for so long Livejournal was my only social networking site, I'm really not comfortable with being scattered across so many social networks & bookmarking sites. But there's no elegant way to consolidate them that I can find. There are plenty of ways to consolidate
posting to most of them, but no way to consolidate reading them.
Meh. I'm all kinds of mentally overloaded right now. I'm really looking forward to disconnecting from work and the internet entirely when I head to Japan with
yinza.
In the meantime, I'm curious - what social networking/bookmarking sites are you on, and how do you manage them? Do you use a specific site for a specific purpose?
I have a personal DW where I do the haphazard life recording that I do. And crosspost that to LJ.
I have a Pinboard where I save all of the links relevant to my life, fandom and nonfandom, and I have a Pinboard just for fic recs.
Tumblr is for pictures. Sometimes pictures get reposted to Plurk if they are amazing.
Plurk is for small stuff that used to go on Twitter. I really only keep Twitter because it's the only way to get ahold of one of my IRL friends.
I occasionally read and never post on Facebook.
There are just so many places to put things. And I'm not the type of person to crosspost very much, either.
