recent LJ controversies, Three Weeks for DW

[charmian]

Been 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?

I so wish scheduled posts was live now. I write best late at night, but my main source of readers is an aggregator that's active in the mid morning. Scheduling will get my posts noticed more, the election's over next week. Still, it remains a damn cool feature.

I think the poor comment UI generally doesn't help, most peoples first impression is a badly laid out comment form with an OpenID taskflow that still confuses me. Need to work on that. Been saying it for a year, but...

I knooooow, there are so many projects I should work on, but I am so scatterbrained and don't keep focus well. ::sadfaces:: And also, job.
