And the future will be...

Jan 22, 2012 13:07

LiveJournal's leadership has made it clear that their future American business strategy lies in generating new traffic rather than catering to the service's current small-but-loyal membership. The challenge for Petrochenko and other executives at LiveJournal will be redefining the brand's identity in a crowded media marketplace.

Since I can't log in to Dreamwidth from my job, I hope you will still crosspost so I can keep reading you relatively regularily.

Ugh. Sorry to hear you can't fully make the move. I imagine I'll leave crossposting up a good long while... maybe there'll be a breakthrough in work internet policy by then. :p

Not policy unfortunately, DW just freezes when I log in and I can't get anywhere further on any dreamwidth.org site. Very frustrating. I've had some IT guys over and they have no idea what's causing it. So I can read DW unlogged, and miss out on friendslocked posts and having all the "You're about to view content which the journal owner has advised should be viewed with discretion", the latter needless to say is highly irritating, especially if it's done to the journal as a whole. At least I can log in via the library network so I can update the pro-blog.

Might be worth reporting it to DW, in case it's not just you.

I'm kinda at the point where I don't really use this for anything anymore, so I might eventually go to dreamwidth just to keep up when the majority finally moves.

It's a good idea to camp out, both to lock down the name, and so that whenever people hit their Last Straw, you're already in place and connected...

Plus adding numbers to their userbase couldn't hurt either the project or the exodus effort.

I believe I am following you on DW, but amn't in your viewing circle, or whatever they call it. No obligation to friend me, just saying in case you don't realise.

mollydot January 25 2012, 00:45:38 UTC

Never mind. It's was a while since I'd looked, and I'd thought your posts there were locked.

mollydot January 25 2012, 02:03:15 UTC

And I wasn't even subscribed to you! I'm now a big confused heap :-)

smarriveurr January 25 2012, 07:32:05 UTC

LOL. I could have sworn you were reciprocally access/subscribed at some point. I really have no idea what on earth happened there.
