I like the commenting/discussion format of LJ/DW the best. I like being able to follow individual threads of discussion within a larger discussion. (I don't mind the BBoard format, but it's nice to see at a glance exactly what comment another comment is in response to, and to be able to skip over sub-threads that don't look interesting.)

Maybe I just don't get how Tumblr works, but I hate having to scroll through pages and pages of "so-and-so reblogged this"/"so-and-so liked this" to find someone who made an actual comment (which then requires going to that person's tumblr, only to find that they basically said something like "read this post!" and did not add to the discussion). I also hate the way nested discussions threads get displayed in a post where older comments in the thread get squished into increasingly narrow columns that get really hard to read. I find figuring out who said what in these situations to be difficult, too.

I would have a sort of LJ/Tumblr hybrid, I guess. It would have LJ-style commenting and cascading threads, but would also incorporate Tumblr- or Facebook-style "liking" or kudos or whatever so people can leave a mark of approval without having to make an actual comment and also to direct readers of their own journal/whatever to posts by others that they thought were neat (but maybe not exactly like reblogging - I don't know how it would work).

You could have the option of making your journal more like LJ or more like Tumblr, depending on what you were trying to do with it. Communities and personal blogs with a lot of text content that might inspire discussion would be more LJ like, while if you wanted to do a blog where you post a pic of every meal you eat or create something like What's Different in Canada where discussion is not such a priority, it could be more Tumblr-like.
