LJ Dashboard
We've cooked up a new utility at LJ Labs, where we're developing a whole host of LJ side projects.
Introducing LJ Dashboard, a portal to the most popular communities, journals and entries on LiveJournal. Now there's a mechanism to help you discover new content and keep track of what's happening out there. Login to the Dashboard using your Open ID, which is exampleusername.livejournal.com. After you're asked to grant identity validation to dashboard.livejournal.com, you'll be all set to poke around and play with some of the things we've come up with.
Since we're launching LJ Dashboard for the first time, we encourage you to post some feedback at lj_labs.
We're currently running some house ads on the Dashboard. Soon ads for external businesses will replace them. But right now all users see the house ads because, for the time being, we don't have a way of distinguishing between paid and unpaid users on the Dashboard. Have no fear: soon as we've got that worked out, paid users will be spared. Thanks for your patience!
We're having a lot of fun with some great ideas right now so keep an eye out for new LJ Labs releases!
