For most of 2009, I've had the strong impression that there are fewer good conversations to be found on livejournal than there used to be. Is that your impression as well? And if it is, what do you attribute that to?

Is anyone else finding that livejournal is running far more slowly than usual since the downtime?

If you haven't already read it, get thee over to synecdochic's fascinating series on "Why Monetizing Social Media Through Advertising Is Doomed To Failure."

Luna: *imagines if songs had emo versions*

For the livejournal hivemind: Is there any way to obtain the email address of a particular livejournal user who does not that address in his or her profile? The person is not a paid user, so addressing things to "username@livejournal.com" doesn't work.
