If I rank the media strictly on how much I like the interface, it goes Usenet, Listservs, LJ, and non-LJ blogs. If I rank them on how well I think they encourage the kind of social interaction I prefer, it goes Usenet, LJ/listservs (a tie), non-LJ blogs. I won't be leaving Usenet until I'm the one who has to turn the lights off.

Unfortunately, tons of the people I like reading (*doesn't name names or anything*) have all but left Usenet. I will tolerate non-LJ blogs, but they're going to be essentially like bookmarked websites in my brainspace until they evolve to handle comment notification and threading. Without that, they're useless for conversation, for me, anyway.
