I use my Dreamwidth account to comment on other Dreamwidth accounts, otherwise I don't log in to Dreamwidth. Occasionally I log in to Livejournal to read my friendslist, but only a very limited subset on heavy filter. Generally I read news articles through Google Reader these days; some Livejournal blogs and Dreamwidth blogs are in there too. Oh, and I log in to Tumblr to read, every couple days, but that's a much smaller list.

On the posting side, I use Tumblr for very general interest topics like reactions to news articles or marketing campaigns. Recently I have started to use Google Reader to comment on articles. I also have a Wordpress, and use it as a place to put my Livejournal content after it has been edited - Livejournal is the "rough draft" / share with friends blog and Wordpress is the posterity blog. But I haven't been posting there very much recently... I was thinking about doing more book reviews.
