charmianBeen busy translating some stuff, although I am planning to put up some links about the latest Facebook events.
Hmm, at this point a lot of my thoughts about LJ's latest scandal regarding the Driving Revenue/Outboundlinks stuff can be summed up by this animated .gif. Here are tips on dealing with the issue, in case you haven't heard already.
Also, there's a comm on DW dedicated to creating exclusive content for DW for three weeks. Since most of the content in this blog is original and not cross-posted to anywhere else, I guess you could say I'm already 'participating.' Anyhow, this campaign makes me wonder whether it is true that one of the impediments to DW growth is that there is a dearth of original content on DW?

That is confusing. I wonder why this is so. Could it be that communities require much more critical mass than personal journals? Certainly people are willing to create communities, but the reasons behind their lack of sustainability seem more curious.
