The stuff that Livejournal ISN'T talking about

You think crossposting stuff to FaceTwit is bad? That's not even the BEGINNING of what LJ is doing.

Basically it looks like a function that allows you to "share" other people's entries not just on FaceTwit, but on a ton of other services, including Digg, Bebo, AIM Share, and Fark.

Thought it couldn't get any worse? So did I.

Truth be told, that really is a very common thing; I've seen such links all over the place on other sites I visit. And it does have positive non-privacy-creepy connotations for people whose journals are their professional face, not their private one.

Where LJ has been going wrong, as far as I'm concerned, is failing to respond to the concerns or requests for opt-outs. Or even to acknowledge their own base. That's where I think they, in Jeff's old phrase, suck nuclear weasel penises. Through a straw.
