"Amazing user content...?"

Otherwise known as 'filler material such as question of the day posts'. They're pretty desperate to make this thing look like it has something in it

When does myguests go live on the site?

I, too, am curious about this...it's definitely been more than "a few weeks" at this point.

...LJ cut-free for the next month in order to get more eyeballs on our evolving newsletter.
Thanks for thumbnailing the pictures this time.

How about an update on the frequent RSS outages? Somehow these news posts have more and more fluff each time with little actual news...

Hear, hear.

Getting information about new features etc. is nice, but there is a fine line between informing your users (which includes informing them of problems etc. as well) and marketing.

I *never* (seriously, never) comment on news posts, because they get so many comments, but I feel I have to here. I have news on my flist so that I hear about, well, important LJ news. Up until last week, I considered it to be a low-traffic journal that was worth keeping on because the occasional post (maybe once a month) might be long, but was usually mostly worth reading. Now? Two mostly pointless posts in as many weeks, long, no cuts.
One more and I'll be booting it.
I have friends in (comparatively) far-flung places whose lives I care about, whose LJ's are the main way I keep in contact. Long news posts stop me spotting updates from them. That really annoys me.

Two mostly pointless posts in as many weeks, long, no cuts. ...and I've already booted it. I'll get my information from lj_releases, I don't need all this marketing cluttering up my Friends page.

that photo is so amazing, I hope you feel lucky for capturing it so perfectly.

that sounds like a back-handed compliment, I don't mean it that way at all, you're an amazing photographer.
