HAHAHAHAHAHA. Oh LJ.
So, on the front page of LiveJournal, the staff posted this article from Fast Company about the changes LJ is making to draw in more users. This quote is a real gem:
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.
Charming. I'd say don't change, but LJ needs to. Badly.
Crossposting this over to Tumblr, where I've been spending a lot of time the past few months enjoying fandoms.
