I totally agree with you about tumblr. It would be better if it had a commenting system, but it doesn't, and not everyone is willing to install/use disqus. Also I'm willing to bet a whole load of people wouldn't even read the comments on stuff even if there were a commenting system because dear god the amount of times I see something where someone's not read the comments on the preceding reblog and gone off on one about what they *thought* it said. *ahem*
Also yeah, tumblr makes me feel like I can't correct people or get mad about shit because of the potential to be harshing someone's squee which. I try not to, but y'know, you can't be happy all the time. Also there's a whole bunch of other stuff about tumblr that I dislike intensely and I just wish would go away, but I can't leave because it's such a visual site, and I love it because of that, and sharing stuff is pretty easy. So I guess I'm staying for now. (Also as visual sites go, it works way better for me interaction-wise than Pinterest does because at least there's actual interaction on tumblr from time to time rather than just "X liked your pin!", "Y is now following your Z board!")
But yeah, I think journal sites are definitely in the dying stages. It's a shame. I prefer interacting like this.
(I got nothing to say about twitter because most of my posts on there are garbage anyway!)
