Since I post a lot of articles...

(I know, you hadn't noticed, right?)

Um. Oh yeah. Since I post a lot of articles, I thought I'd create a poll to see which articles are the most appreciated. Because I HAVE A PAID ACCOUNT I DON'T HAVE TO PAY FOR NYAH! (Well, I do pay for it. With my soul. But not with money, so NYAH!)

On question #1... I thought you meant in real life, was I right?

[conuly]

No, but it doesn't matter :)

[thren0dy.livejournal.com]

Um, I wasn't sure about question 1 - I answered "yes" because you know who I am internet-wise, but we have not met IRL. I consider lots of my LJ friends to be someone I "know," but you might feel differently ...

[phoenixdreaming.livejournal.com]

I read the articles that are about "people" in general; psychology-type articles and ones about a culture, which I don't think fits under the categories given.

[arikatt.livejournal.com]

Duck.

*taps you on the head* GOOSE!

I like your real posts better than the link ones, BUT of the link ones, the autism ones are probably the most interesting to me.

[conuly]

Don't always have any inspiration for a real post, but there's always something in the news to sadden me or piss me off. Alas and alack.

On question 2, I included other in my answer, but that's because I answered the question as if it were asking what sorts of articles might I read. Whether or not I actually read them comes down to their my computer's speed that day, how busy I am, and their length.

[leora.livejournal.com]

What I read depends a lot on what mood I'm in and how much I feel up to reading. I've got a working text-to-speech reader now, so sometimes I'm listening to articles. Also, whether i read an article depends on the layout of the site it's on and such. I don't link to much, but every now and then when something especially catches my interest and I don't feel lazy.

I might read some fandom stuff, but not usually. I definitely will not check out animations or flash stuff.

However, llama. Definitely llama.

[rachelkachel]

I don't read most of the links you post, but occasionally one will catch my interest. It happens most often when they're not about politics/religion/gay rights. Keep posting those if you like to, of course, but I get a little tired of reading criticisms of my beliefs ;)

[conuly]

They're less criticisms of your beliefs than statements of my beliefs.

[feathered.livejournal.com]

What? No option for llama-rama?

I know it's very integral to your identity or whatever, but I get tired of all of the autusm links. They basically read the same after a while. But that's okay; I just don't click them anymore. I'd like more varied psychology links if you felt like posting them. :)

[conuly]

Llama-rama isn't in the Llama song.

As for the autism links, I know they're repetitive. They're repetitively annying and I hate them and I want people to stop being stupid. It's like an addiction.

[dkmnow.livejournal.com]

Do I know you?

Correct (omitted) selection: "Yeah, but not really - I mean, only from LJ, and none to well at that."

Actual selection: "Yes"


So, always remember:

"When a llama lies, a llama dies,
And a drama lies untold."

Well, I'm not sure how much attention you have paid to who I am, so I chose "Don't think so."

And I rarely read autism links (although I should -- my son has Asperger's) and I try to stay away from politics. But I do read most gay rights things, and some general civil rights things.

And, honestly, I may be leaving LiveJournal, as it seems I'm persona non grata anyway. So, my opinion likely matters much less than anyone else's.

[conuly]

That last part's not true. Though I *have* carefully avoided knowing too much about you (well, I do that with all my friends to some extent. I don't want to find out that my best friend is really a raging homophobic ax murderer, for example, and will strenuously avoid finding out about this sort of thing), what I do know I like and respect - especially the honesty. It's hard to be truthful, and harder still when you know how people will react. Your opinion is not worthless.

[concordantnexus.livejournal.com]

I'll read any LJ related links and once in a blue moon one of the other links.

I regularly skim bbc.com, economist.com, cbc.ca on my own and thus read anywhere from 12-36 articles a day, plus I usually read posts by people that I know in real life.

I'll also click on links that friends provide if their in-depth discussion of a given article perks my interest enough, namely I'll read it to see what sparked their analysis/critique/response.

[pne.livejournal.com]

I tend not to follow links all that much.

If you reproduce the article behind a cut, though, I may or may not click through to read it.

I certainly don't read everything you post; the volume alone makes that impractical for me.

[raleighj.livejournal.com]

Am trying to remember what I tend to click on...generally it's anything that catches my eye and looks interestng at the moment. Usually articles about not-quite-as-controversial things look more consistently interesting. :-) (Or articles on controversial things that are actually articles -- NYT, BBC, etc., not just bloggity opinion pieces. I don't mind reading your bloggity commentary on stuff -- that's usually fun, probably because I sort-of-know-you vs. you being some random person who doesn't agree with me).
