Didn't everyone already know this?

(Post in question here)

As for my speculations, I'll save them for another post, but my suspicion is that it's not about what 'what LJ did' or 'what happened on LJ', but 'what LJ didn't do' and 'what happened outside of LJ.'

Anyway, here's an interesting article about Myspace's decline.

Huh, is it? I'm not really very familiar with coding stuff, but IIRC aren't there some other sites that have similar granular privacy features?

There may well be, but LJ is pretty well world-class.
