Livejournallers disconnected?

Someone has looked at the connections between blogs made by the links they use, and has produced this globe.  Each white dot is a blog, green lines are a one way link and blue lines are two way links.

What I found interesting was that Live Journal blogs are labelled 3 on the globe and barely link out to other blogs.  It is described in the article as

This isolated, close-knit online community of bloggers uses LiveJournal, an online host that primarily serves as a social networking site. This blogging island is just barely in touch with the rest of the blogworld.

It is interesting that since I discovered googlereader I am reading a lot of blogs which are not based on livejournal and keep most of my comments and thoughts about them on my non livejournal blog as I'm not sure you are interested.

What do you think, are we a disconnected bunch?
