Sorry but no no no.
As I feared I don't like it; clunky, ugly and repetitive and in this I am guilty as anyone else as it is too hard to see what everyone else is writing about. I feel like shouting "already diaried" every five minutes. I've already deleted 10 or more because they are already up, now I have given up and assumed they will have already been written so what is the harm of one more.
If Kos wanted a collection of blogs under one roof then that appears to have been a success, however unlike other such services we cant design our own background.
I've decided to limit my participation to just one group, in the beginning I was too ashamed to say initially "no thanks"; as I just cant keep up with the overload.
I suppose I miss the immediacy and even the linearity of the past, if it was "already diaried" you commented on that diary.
I don't mind the friends and followers thingy, then again I dont see its relevance as I never had a problem before and didn't need reminding, now I just end up sitting here thinking where to start.
The "Front page" hmmm is there one? Oh, its still there sorry but I haven't got time to look at it, shame really since I'm being reminded to be elsewhere. I'm hanging on here but I'm getting more and more frustrated and not enjoying the experience.
The groups too many I suppose many will fold, too many saying the same thing so I could box myself away in a couple and that has its attractions, then again its the same as hopping to Crooks and Liars, Feministing, and even the Huffington Post.
I miss the clarity of Daily Kos and am now wandering around in the fog of DK-4, perhaps it will smooth out and regain some of its immediacy and intimacy.
Oh well
