Sleep is for the week (eek)

[livredor]

Between now and Monday night I have to:

go to morning minyan in a few minutes (which is why I'm up so few hours after getting to bed last night), in order to find people for this evening

go to work, finish writing my presentation ie make up a week's work in a day

help someone from the community sit shiva, fulfil the mourning requirements for her

InsaneJournal is pretty good, actually. It uses the same code as LJ but the owner genuinely seems to be bothered about what people think, and it's therefore growing fast.

If you wish to add me over there, I'm mongoose.

LJ is no longer offering free accounts to new users, existing free accounts are grandfathered

mm. I don't see the difference between LJ-clones and LJ, really; there's no reason to suppose they won't go the same way. A different model is needed, otherwise there's just a constant turnover from one place to the next.

A different model is needed...

Indeed. A true peer-to-peer social blogging client with some distributed ID system and locally-held friends lists would work. Will work, someday. Maybe the technology already exists and it just needs enough people to take it up for the 'Network Effect' or some critical mass to be achieved.

In the meantime, better management is needed. I have expressed my own views on the matter.

I still wish for NNTP-based blogging (but with a richer content model than Usenet has plumped for), with the peering graph approximately matching the social graph.

That does sound insanely busy! *feeds you tea*
