LiveJournal, Inc. has put together a 100-day development plan, which new staff and the original LiveJournal team will implement. Over the next three months, the team will focus on such items as service performance, usability, and socialization/discovery features. These will include:

Usability:

• Improve user-friendliness of home and portal pages
• Optimize navigation
• Enhance the registration process

Socialization and discovery:

• Improve tagging and flagging (e.g. commercial or offensive content)
• Improve internal messaging
• Create friend discovery and invitation features
• Create widgets functionality (e.g. profile, latest posts, stats)
• Establish a clear set of policy guidelines

General service technology, we will:

• Work on increasing service speed and performance, including improvements in content delivery
• Work on developing a new database architecture for new and enhanced features
• Increase certain limits for Basic and Plus accounts

We will also work on addressing bugs that have been reported by the users and introducing minor new features on an ongoing basis.
