1. What if someone created a Facebook App that would allow LJ users to import their own journals, AND comments left on those journals to Facebook. Assume that the entries and comments would be imported in their entirety, with comments attributed to the LJ usernames of those who posted them. Assume that non-public entries would remain non-public, and filters would be assigned to filtered entries. What would you think about this? Assume that you were able to delete content left by you that you have access to.

The trend makes me sad, because it's gone from where it was, even though it's still on the internet. Links pointing to pages at defunct domain names, even though the site they pointed to continues under a new domain name, with the same old content, makes me sad. Links to old news articles and the newspaper has shuffled stuff around, those make me sad too.

It's not quite as sad on Dreamwidth, because it's a familiar interface and not screamingly horrible to find things, but it still makes me sad.


I haven't put it to suggestions, but I seem to recall it getting kicked around like the proverbial football on the dw-discuss mailing list.
