So, we have reached the slow part of the month here at work, and I am bored. And my LiveJournal friends list is not being very entertaining today. *glares at list*

I know a bunch of jatraqueros keep blogs and stuff on their own sites. Any chance any of you have feeds? If so, I can create a syndicated account for them on LiveJournal and thus read them on my friends list.

Most feed types should work. From the LiveJournal FAQs:

When adding a new feed URL, please note that LiveJournal supports most versions of RSS, as long as the code is valid. Officially, the supported versions of RSS are 0.9, 0.91, and 1.0; however, versions 0.92 and 2.0 are based on 0.91, and so most feeds using these versions of RSS will work on LiveJournal.

That's a bit outdated, I think, because I know I've answered a few support requests about Atom feeds.

ALSO! LiveJournal provides feeds for every user, in both RSS and Atom. Here are mine:

Feel free to add me to your RSS readers if you'd like.

I can feel like I'm on the internet even though I'm just talking to myself.

It says right in my userinfo that I am welcome to being friended by one and all, so do feel free to friend me.

Farmgirl, you may be confused, but I know exactly what pooka means:

But there's the buffer of a text-based world.

Yes. This.

I think it's not so much the fact that us introverts are posting for all the world to see, but that there's a distance between us and our audience that's caused by the method of our communication. Instead of talking face to face, for all we know we could be shouting out in an empty room. There's less danger and energy involved, and thus it makes it easier for us to communicate.

I find it interesting that I have no problem posting on my own journal but have problems responding to posts on Hatrack. There's definitely a different mindset involved in the two. My journal is mine: it is me speaking to thoughts, and others responding if they like or choose to. But posting on a forum such as Hatrack, it's very much about a two-way conversation; and worse, it's not one-to-one, but one-to-many, which makes this introvert terrified. Even posting this comment here feels a bit safer and easier than posting on hatrack, because I am directly responding to *you* and not just posting for all the world to see, even though that's actually what's happening. Does that make sense?
