The Return of Livejournal

Jan 20, 2012 22:06

By: Neal Ungerleider

LiveJournal, one of the web's most popular early blogging sites, is launching a comeback in the United States. Their plans for 2012 include massive changes for users. Oh, and "Game Of Thrones" creator George R.R. Martin is a big user.

( In the early 2000s, LiveJournal was king of the blogging hill. )

Thanks! I'm just not familiar enough with all the tags to really know the good/spot on ones.

a new, community-driven interface seemingly designed to deemphasize blog content.

But I like blog content. :P

LiveJournal's leadership has made it clear that their future American business strategy lies in generating new traffic rather than catering to the service's current small-but-loyal membership.

And when that fails and they are left with no one...
