Poll #4361 thought experiment on importation

Open to: Registered Users, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 44

1. What if someone created a Facebook App that would allow LJ users to import their own journals, AND comments left on those journals to Facebook. Assume that the entries and comments would be imported in their entirety, with comments attributed to the LJ usernames of those who posted them. Assume that non-public entries would remain non-public, and filters would be assigned to filtered entries. What would you think about this? Assume that you were able to delete content left by you that you have access to.

edit: ugh, grammar fail. I forgot a question mark. -_-

Last entry had a lot of comments, and the results of the poll surprised me. [BTW, if you found that poll interesting, you may be interested in this poll.

holyschist is interested in your responses.) A clear majority (~60% at present) of the poll results cited a 'dearth of active comms' as the major factor impeding DW growth (among those who believed there was a growth issue). I was actually surprised by this stat. I expected the other options to be more popular.

So then, I ask a followup question (to those of you who checked that option last post, or who believe there is one, even if they did not cite that as the major factor):

( a summary of the discussion )

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?

This question was vaguely inspired by the new LJ account on... Facebook, where they seem to be asking people about such issues. I'm actually kind of surprised that there wasn't an official page already.

(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.
