We would like to take a moment of your time. As we all know, LJ is dying, ever since the sale to Russia. People are moving on. People are changing and growing apart.

So true.
Yet, in all fairness, although I do not care for the change in management, and even believe that Russia is a precarious ground for a business to be founded on, I think the decline of LiveJournal has more to do with the rise of Facebook. Facebook apparently does the social networking game better, and it has become easy to leave LiveJournal behind. Personally, I cannot really make the trasition, because e-freindships have also become more real-lifey, and I just don't have that kind of social capital. So, now, blogging for me is mostly about keeping all the shiny stuff that I come across on my Internet travels, and I suppose I fade away along with LJ.
