Hi everyone. As you have probably heard us brag by now, we have a new partnership with LiveJournal. This partnership is aimed at helping VP (and LJ) to grow even stronger, all through the community continuing to be its awesome self.
One of the things that we have been working on is pumping up our use of social media sites that let us keep the VP ethos going in a less question-and-answer oriented way. You can find us on Tumblr, Twitter, and Facebook, but fret not, these sites will never replace VP on LJ, they're just different ways of getting involved in the community, and engaging in discussions that might be off-topic for VP on LJ.
To that end, we'd like to hear some more about what you are interested in seeing in VP social media. We'd appreciate it if you'd take this short poll to let us know how you use (or don't use) VP-off-LJ, and what kinds of things you'd like to see us talking about.
As always, we'd love to hear more from you in the comments. Thanks!

I guess what I'm trying to say is that my LJ experience is sometimes more of the practical (as in anatomical, STI, etc.) aspects of vulvovaginal health, whereas tumblr is more like the theory side.
