Talk:LiveJournal/Archive 1

message: I was unable to find any announcement of when LJ reached 4 million accounts, but if anyone does it'd be a nice addition to the timeline. It happened somewhere around or before August 2004, I guess, so that's quite the exponential growth :) --Spug 15:29, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Four million accounts

message: Six Apart (makers of Movable Type and TypePad) bought LiveJournal and Danga Interactive, as announced on 1/5 by both LiveJournal and Six Apart. The Danga staff will be moving to San Francisco within the next two months. LiveJournal will be a branch of Six Apart separate from Moveable Type and TypePad, and the code will remain open source.

replies: text: I see that now someone has added to the article that Six Apart bought the entire Danga... However, I can't find any proof of this anywhere. Neither the LJ news post or the Six Apart announcement mention that Six Apart bought Danga, only that they bought LiveJournal from Danga. Or am I misunderstanding? --Spug 13:09, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)

message: Could people please stop spuriously deleting the item about the power outage without prior discussion? An outage that takes down the site for over 24 hours - the longest such outage to date - would seem to be fairly important to note. Particularly when it has made Slashdot, eWeek and other news sites. If it's being reported in the press than it's important enough to be in the artcle. Arkady Rose 23:33, 15 Jan 2005 (UTC)

message: I removed the following external link added by User:64.231.142.162 since it was not a particularly noteworthy article about LiveJournal, compared to the many others already posted.  If anyone feels otherwise and cares to add it back, the link is posted below:
*Pulling sense out of today’s informational chaos: LiveJournal as a site of knowledge creation and sharing (First Monday article)
—Brim 06:19, Jan 19, 2005 (UTC)
I re-added the link removed above; First Monday is a reasonably important publication, and the article linked elucidates much of LiveJournal's popularity.
:Seconded: Speaking as a researcher in the social software field, one who actually works specifically on LJ, First Monday is a very important PEER REVIEWED online journal on computing; LiveJournal appearing there legitimizes analysis of it within the academic computing world.

message: Perhaps something should be added to the controversies section about the recent Frienditto. I don't really know enough about the whole thing to feel qualified to write it, but it was all over LJ...
:That needs its own article. --Bluejay Young 20:42, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

message: : Have removed the nonsense link: reference to LJ Drama. The LiveJournal article should not be a PR tool for an external site.
:: The link to LJ Drama is no less a "PR tool" than the link to LiveJournal (or indeed the article) is for LiveJournal. You can't remove a link just because you don't like it. It's certainly not "nonsense" because it's meaningful in the context of the article, and relevant to the topic of the article. — Timwi 21:04, 11 May 2005 (UTC)

message: Where's the information on the number of paid users sourced from? It's not on the cited source, and I couldn't find it on the LiveJournal website, so I've removed it for now, but it would be useful to have with a current citation.--me_and 09:53, May 31, 2005 (UTC)
: The cited page used to include this information... — Timwi 13:53, 31 May 2005 (UTC)

message: Information on LJ introducing posting limits? --asilvahalo
:There aren't any posting limits just now. I'll add the information when they go into actual effect for longer than just a day ;-) -- Timwi 15:29, 13 Dec 2003 (UTC)
