Do I Stay or Do I Go?

LiveJournal, Malware, Interstitial Advertising and You.

Wow.

I'm seriously, seriously unamused.

I don't know.

I have an account on DW: eumelia, but I've been on LJ for five years now.
I have communities that I like.
Peeps I enjoy reading that aren't mirrored.

I know, I know I can still keep this account and move to making the DW a primary one.

*sigh*

Well, my paid account expires in May. I can see what happens then, right?

I always figured LJ became a victom of its own success, and got just too big to be self sustaining.

Which is why I worry about DW. Their business plan works right now, but if a huge number of users switch over...

Mind you, I think the blogging craze has large passed now, and the majority of people have moved on to Facebook and Twitter.

We have reached the point where I can no longer comment intelligently, other than to say, yes, LJ was a victim of its own success. DW, I know, has invested far more heavily in servers and hosting for them than LJ did, and from the get-go. But I commend you to co-DW owner Denise's posts on Web 2.0 (http://synecdochic.dreamwidth.org/tag/web+2.0"); they are all fascinating (she used to work for LJ, actually).

I think I agree about the majority of people re: blogging, though I personally feel very differently. It is impossible to have a substantive discussion on Twitter, for starters.

Yeah. I think it's rather sad that so many people have left journalling sights for the facebook/twitters. But. *shrugs* Such is life.
