Livejournal VS Blogger

I keep a livejournal, or at least attempted to. It became one of the most revered, qouted, brandied around the web journals of today, and last week, and sometime 2 years ago, whatever.

My point is, my livejournal was featured on www.ljtop.com (where it has remained since gaining it's spot) which is a website for the BEST of livejournal. It's been commented on forums, and all in all, I was becoming one of the leading journal writers for the web, where I skewered the news and brought the truth out in everything. Over 50 "subscribers" if you will, and some of which I stayed/stay in touch with through e-mail and whatnot.

Then one day I stopped.

I realized that blogging on HERE is what killed it. This is simple, this is easy, this is pathetic. I can write about anything that happens in my day or any other small thought that comes into my head and it instantly becomes a classic blogger entry.

PROS
*My blogger entries can be a paragraph long
*My livejournal entries are very revered on the web
CONS
*My blogger entries havn't gained as much of a following
*My livejournal entries were LONG AS F*CK

So there are pros and cons to both sides of the arguement. And as for VLOGGING, well that's a whole 'nother rant for another day. I've always wondered what was the right way to go in the blogging/vlogging world. At least on blogger I can set up an addsense and get paid for my entries. In the immortal words of Calvin from Watterson's classic Calvin & Hobbes, "Imagine getting PAID to act like a 6 year old!" My LJ doesn't give me that. I can act like a 6 year old, that ain't hard. But I don't get paid for it. And what's the point of complaining if you don't get paid?
