LJ is crap |

I feel it's training ground for outdoors weblogging. |

Radio appeals to my geek side. I enjoy goofing around with the internals. I also like the idea that Radio is on my desktop, so I have my full archive in XML, right here, under my control. Also, an RSS news aggregator is a killer feature. LJ appeals to the social side of my 'blogging. The idea that rather than subscribing to RSS feeds, I have a list of "friends" is cool. LJ provides lots of little personalization features that are charming. Icons, the "now listening to" stuff, etc... I also like the custom tags LJ uses (*lj-cut*, etc...). |

I think LJ has some neat features, like RSS and such, but that some things (like the comment system) could be a lot nicer. |

i have no idea, really |

I once tried to set up my own LiveJournal, but didn't like it. I'm curious about how LiveJournal compares to Diaryland. Do you know where to find info on that? |
| 8. |
You know what? LiveJournals live in their own weird world. They are, for the most part, nut jobs. I will admit, however, that they have a very tight community and if it works? Hey, why not? I am feeling [non-chalant]. |

I'm tired of the 'haha aren't they dumb' attitude. |

I don't think, I link |

The primary difference I have noticed between Live Journals and "classic" blogs is that Live Journals tend to be targetted at the real life friends of the journal author. Live Journal's "friends" feature allows users to list their friends and have all updatefs from their friends appear on a single page (a bit like RSS syndication, which I believe can also be linked in to this feature). In this way communities of friends can easily keep track of what each other are up to. Classic blogs on the other hand are usually aimed at strangers who share the blogger's interests, and are thus far less likely to detail personal things that would only be of interest to real life friends. |

I honestly don't know what goes on inside LiveJournal, but the skew in age doesn't surprise me--most of the sites I saw there appear to be only a few years removed from Barbie. Of course I may not have been looking in the right places. |
| 13. |
Generally, they're the realm of 13-year-old girls. And while there's nothing wrong with that, it's a stereotype that LJ will have to fight against for some time. |
| 14. |
i think it's cute, but cut-off from the internet.... like aol. i feel like they are just off playing in their own yard. |
| 15. |
hate that I have to login and subscribe to make a comment to a lj system. |

livejournals tend to be boring self-centered, well, journals... hence the name. They've got a good niche going, but I find most to be boring and too personal unless I specifically know the person off-line. |
| 17. |
LiveJournal is a community I have no interest in being a part of, and it seems clear they are not interested in joining the rest of us non-LiveJournal bloggers either. And really, that's just fine with me. |
| 18. |
Amazed at their insularity |
| 19. |
LJ seems a bit caged-in... too much walled community... |
| 20. |
LiveJournal is a closed universe. They are only interested in communicating with each other. |
