I suppose it was only a matter of time.

[Technorati] now estimates that the number of blogs in existence has exceeded 4.8 million, although some speculate that less than a quarter are regularly maintained.

I know some people are snobby about livejournal, but, um, there are some 5,000,000 accounts here alone.

I was hoping I wasn't the only one thinking that would be possible. That's just so oppressive.

'in the shade of its teen angst'? I don't understand what that means, but that could be because I'm feeling too tired right now.

Re: but,

Livejournal has a reputation for being full of depressed teenagers.

homicidal ones. Do you think that MS will be any better? I doubt it. Or will enforcing people to post so as to keep their blog working attract older people? Frankly, that's what put me off using hotmail once I lost my account because I wasn't using it (together with the horrible interface that wouldn't help me re-activate my account). The idea that I had to use it or lose it made me angry - especially when there were other alternatives with no strings attached.

No, no, I mean it'll be worse.

sorry

I totally misunderstood. Too tired, as I said.

Or did I? I did - somewhere. Sorry!
