Heads up..

There's a poll re the recent FB/Twitter feature.

HERE

Will LJ listen? I suppose if enough people make their feelings known they might. They'd be wise to I reckon.

There's are lot of discontent being voiced on their announcement post also.

This link is also interesting. This shows how it could work.

Thanks for the info. I checked it all out and I don't like it. The poll makes it quite obvious that nearly nobody likes it...

Here's a link to someone who tested it.

It shows that they can't see the post, only the comment. But if it is a locked post and the comment refers to what is being said in the post (like: I'm so sorry your Grandma died.) Not cool.
They also can see the LJ user name. I know a lot of people don't want that to go around.

So yea, sucky idea the whole thing.

Thanks for this link honey. I think is exactly what people have been worried about. And it's good to see proof. :)

I used to connect my YT account to my LJ and realised that that wasn't such a good idea. I mean, I don't really have a lot to hide. My family (as in sisters and parents) know what I do (even the porn reading!), but I would hate for my students to somehow come across it. And the more stuff is "out there" the more chances there are.

Thanks babe. <3

ETA: Hope you don't mind me adding this link to the post. xx

Not at all. That's why I put it here, for everybody to see. It was posted as a comment to the poll. Glad I could add some further info on this. :)
