How to view the post-LJ diaspora?

[andygates]

Various friends are moving (or have moved) to all sorts of other blog sites.  My LJ Friends page, once the one-stop shop for the good stuff, is starting to look a bit raggedy and it's only getting more so.

How's a chap supposed to keep all his friends' blogs in one easy roll?

Friends-locking and communities don't work so well for feeds, and I have both in my flist. Vexation!

I try to resist FB wall posts. They're too transient and lost in the froth; a Proper Blog (OMG mediashift culture shock) has stability and just plain space for wordiness. If only everyone fb-updated their myriad blogs, then the fb friendfeed would be an adequate aggregator.

Well, apart from those friend-locked and community ones. Flocked blogs generally don't trumpet their updates.

Agreed on that. FB for 'what I did 10 minutes ago, like you care', and a blog for an actual thought process that needs words to express it.

If you do solve the everyone's gone everywhere problem, please let me know how. I can't be doing with site hopping every year or two.
