Updates to Omniture on LiveJournal

[theljstaff]

We’re making a change to the way we've been gathering statistics on LiveJournal and wanted to let you know the plan and details in advance.

Back in January, we announced that we'd start using Omniture SiteCatalyst as the system that lets us dig deeper into how members and visitors use LiveJournal. Back then, we had only used Omniture's tracking

InsaneJournal is better than either!

1) 100 icons for free accounts, much more for paid
2) An active fanbase of most fandom
3) The site admin pays attention to the users and works with him
4) Servers are fast
5) This helps too.

[aristoboule]

Haha, you were faster--thank you! XD

[bmg]

The more attention to IJ, the better :)

[aristoboule]

IJ has:

1. A clear stance on journal content, and a highly responsive site owner/admin. Squeaky is easily accessible too.
2. 100 icons for free accounts (as does GJ, but IJ will not censor or remove icons), 250 for paid, and 300 for permanent accounts (and the option for 200 more for perm accounts for life for $10)
3. Inexpensive permanent accounts ($40, currently). Paid is $10 for 6 months, $20 for a year.

I'm there for reason #1, and I could go on and on for more reasons why I like that place.

It's an awesome site, I've been there since 2004. I like it muchly.

[just_katarin]

But it's the UGLIEST thing ever. IJ seems to be the best if I could just surf the site without ever looking at it. :(

[aristoboule]

I can understand why people might not like the site scheme, but eh! I can live with it because of the other things, which at least IMO, far outweigh the design part.

[biscayne]

You can change the site scheme.

[ladydreamer]

Eh. It grows on you. Frankly, the features and service are more than enough for me to ignore the layout since I'm not looking at it most of the time. I dunno what I'm gonna do with 300 icons.

No, that would be GJ :)It makes me shudder, how badly CLUTTERED and ugly GJ looks. Much like half the reason I hate MySpace, I understand how it's not that hard to have a ok(not good even, just an ok one) site design- and how they seem to be doing really hard to do the opposite.

But then, just about any journal site I think I may run into issues. *sighs* Many a fight with trying to edit a code heavy post, and making sure for the love of god not to accidentally click the plain text tab I have had. If only their code was more like actual HTML, instead of the way they have br tags that means I have to fight it sometimes to make it look right.

Still awaiting a staff's opinion of how Livejournal is better than Greatest Journal.

From what I've read, GJ doesn't promise you things and lull you into a false sense of security before it bans you without warning.

Agree with the others - IJ is better. Read over the announcements asylum and the site owner's journal (squeaky) and see how he asks questions of the users, discusses things with them and then comes up with decisions that everyone likes.

[eridanusus]

er, for clarity's sake -

From what I've read, GJ doesn't (promise you things and lull you into a false sense of security) before it bans you without warning.

where the () is what it doesn't do, rather than the whole sentence is what it doesn't do.
