meme

[rm]

The problem with Livejournal is that we all think we are so close, but really, we know nothing about each other. Hence, I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Then post this in your LJ (if you want to) and find out what people don’t know about you.

Okay, I loathe the wording the meme, but I'm at work (waaaah), and people have been asking questions lately that I've now lost track of where they were to answer (someone asked about perfume a few days ago, that sticks in my mind). So if you're so inclined, have at.

I don't think LJ is dying off, so much as I think blogs are going out of fashion in favor of things like Facebook and also Twitter. Although Twitter, like LJ, has problems with monetizing and so ongoing existence is in question.

I think LJ is in less danger than it was a year ago. Things like Dreamwidth just confirm that people really do want this sort of platform to exist. Of course, if personal journaling sites do fade out, I think something like Dreamwdith may outlive LJ because the expectations are lower. LJ has a lot of baggage because it really only ever makes people money when it gets sold, and eventually there aren't going to be any more suckers to sell it to.
