You're traveling in the right direction, but you're going there the wrong way. It's roughly akin to flying west from LA to get to New York. EVENTUALLY you'll get there, but it's much more direct to fly East.
You're right when you say that Live Journal needs better marketing, but you've got the wrong idea about how to get there. We don't need Obama or Oprah. People like Live Joural because it hasn't changed. Furthermore, if you had read : LiveJournal Users: Passionate, Prolifc, and Private, you would know that Live Journal interact on a much higher level than Twitter or the rest. We discuss ideas here at lenght, not make the most atrocious background and play twenty songs and videos at the same time.
As much as I'd like to see LJ pick up some steam in the world, I do not want to see this happen at the expense of what we already know Live Journal to be.

I agree with schpydurx' comment. I appreciate the consistency and intellectual value of the LiveJournal format. However, the erosion of the legacy userbase and apathy-loss (...I know there's a term for it somewhere) cause me much concern.
I believe that LiveJournal can survive and grow by focing on this very nature and embracing the popular userbase without - by NOT - compromising its format or the retention of its existing userbase.
With proper stewardship, many classical user communities such as "The Well" have been able to maintain their niche userbases. LiveJournal can do better than that. The place for LiveJournal is to act as a counterbalance against the dumbing of social media; the place you can go for real friends, when you don't want to "Facebook" or "Twitter", when you want to want to have a real conversation with words and pictures and not 140-characters-or-less.
Accordingly, I support the nomination of cheesemon.

I nominate myself as an Asian professor in Korea, from California, who presented four times on movies for learning English at the International STEM conference here, and am an actor, musician, dancer, tennis pro, martial artist, and yogi, bringing forty years of experience and movies study to the table. Could someone also please help me, by going to youtube.com, search at " People Get Ready harp dance", my harmonica dancing video, and download it to Idea Bollywood Club, it is blocked in Korea. Thanks, see you in the big time.
