Hah, well, it looks like LJ is pretty much ignoring them.
There actually hasn't been much whining and petitioning about Share This that I can see. I would think from the privacy perspective, the Google Analytics thing would be far more controversial. (even though, if you use ghostery or noscript, you see it's on many sites these days)
LOL, so where are their friends going? FB? If the idea is that new users and paying attention to their needs will somehow kill the service, then eh, that is going to kill the service.
I really don't have any idea how true/not true it is.... External stats say there is some decline, though these are of limited reliability. I've seen discussions of the decline of online services which also note that sometimes after decline, stability can be reached, and a rump kind of continue. If decline has been occurring, then, it is perhaps also possible that the stable rump has been achieved.
