Well, me, I only have two SNs -- one for general use, and one for family/RL people need me stat! use. People have been saying it's mostly for knowing where your post stands in relation to everyone else on your flist, which does make sense to me -- not something I'd particularly do, but still.
At the same time, for discussion posts like this, where I'm hoping for commentary/discussion and want to respond back, I'll keep my e-mail program open and respond as they come, while going off and doing my own thing. The downside is the rest of the time, I tend to forget forget to check my e-mail and thus miss personal messages from people. XD;
See, I honestly don't get too much of the whole lyricpost thing -- when I have song calls (the rare times I do), I usually just send friends the link to some public lyrics site with the words, and then send them the song. If I were to do music pimpage on LJ, I'd find it easier to upload the song somewhere, give people a stanza, perhaps, and then tell them to download it, though I admit that since I've got my own domain space, it's easier for me than others. >_> If a song influences fic from me, I do what I've done before -- "here, you can blame [insert link here] THIS SONG [/end link] for the mood of this piece." XD; The problem is, lots of times, finding beauty/poetry in lyrics is such a subjective thing -- I know a lot of people who find Evanescence beautifully-phrased, but while they're pretty, I don't see particular power in them unless they come with the woman's voice (and given how often they're overplayed, I'm getting kind of sick of them XD;;;). So, it's such a subjective thing, I suppose, which is mainly why I don't get it. XD;
And since I've already made a big long stupid post about why/what I don't post, I'll just say that I have mostly similar reasons -- just posting about my life, though, or stressing, I tend to not post publically, s'all. ^_^
I have to admit, more often than not, if I like a fic/art and that friend is online, I'll tell them so directly -- but hey, I know it's sometimes nice to get an echoed comment in LJ for prosperity, so I at least try to keep up with both. XD; Mostly, though, it's me just commenting where I see fit, and then just being tremendously lazy in spurts. XD
