Goodbye LJ

[skthewimp]

It's been almost four years here. It was on the 27th of July 2004 that I put my first ever post on LJ, moving it from my earlier blog which was on blogger. It was the network effect at work - a large number of my friends were on LJ, and with its "community feel", friends lists,  threaded comments, etc. LJ was really comfortable.

For the first few

You can still write a small heading and give a link to your web site every time you write a blog in your own space. That way you will still be in LJ where as your blogs will be on your own web site...

will be some more work but i guess i'll do it for a while at least. say for a month when we go through the transition

after that I'd expect readers to also migrate

Yeah that will make it easier for people to follow your posts!

please do what sandy_tr says...as I do have many friends on blogger and wordpress and etcetera, but I hardly open up Google reader to ever actually visit their blogs..and LJ is a daily habit and I have enjoyed reading your stuff, whether or not I agree with you, Mr SKTW!

What have the constraints been? I would like to know..you can email me if you like...

generally - LJ is too "closed"; not googlable enough; doesn't allow me to install stuff like say ads or stats and all that; or import feeds from my shared google reader and twitter and show it on the homepage. managing comments is tough here . etc. etc

Btw, does this mean, that you wouldnt be read-mode either in LJ ?
