A very topical LJ poll
So, I want to get a spread of opinions from people still reading their friends pages (hi!) about some things, because I can get into a bubble on topics like this and not really understand what people might actually feel about topics, but am really curious about reactions. So, without further ado:
My friends page
My journal style is very optimized to the way I like to read my friends page
1342(93.6%)
I don't really care how it looks as long as the entries are there
50(3.5%)
I find it very clunky, especially compared to more modern systems like FB, Tumblr, and Twitter.
25(1.7%)
I actually use an RSS reader, email notifications, or another site to get updates and not the friends page.

The LJ site scheme
I really like it.

As much as I can

Sounds nice, but I don't have experience with it.
