Interest v solicitation

Thursday, May 31st, 2007 12:27 pm
"we have been advised that listing an interest in an illegal activity must be viewed as using LiveJournal to solicit that illegal activity"

This journal is proud to solicit pirates, absinthe, steeleye span, criminals named Jack and 'raw and wriggling' (nearly all of which are illegal somewhere or other, or possibly should be).
to [livejournal.com profile] tamaranth, e.g. this journal, which was created five years and one day ago.

LJ has brought me lots of good things (and people). I'd be a very different person if I'd never created this LJ (not to mention various others, mostly now defunct). Thank you all for being Imaginary Internet Friends ... many of you are remarkably convincing at being Real-Life Friends too!

On syndicated feeds

I'm starting to think that setting up feeds to my non-LJ blogs was a bit of a mistake.

Are there ways to get around the following?

- posts only go back a week or so -- not to start-of-feed
- no email notification of LJ comments on the feed (which are presumably lost when the posts drop off the back of the feed)
- no way of updating syndication parameters, such as whether to display the whole post or just the top few lines ...

If you've left a comment on something and I never responded, I may not have seen it. (The only way I can think of to get around this is for people to click through and comment on the original non-LJ posts!)
A rather patronising article on the BBC Magazine about the rise of MySpace. ("Perhaps the biggest headache anyone with a couple of hundred mates needs to get their head around is how to manage their Christmas card list.") But what they're describing doesn't seem much different to LiveJournal or any of the less formal, more community-based blogging sites.

So ... tell me about MySpace. Why should I know about it? And has the bloke from the Beeb missed the point?
