The Count

[ceagle]

Okydokey... I've been sorta wondering, so I finally did a tally here: Of the 238 peeps in my friends list here, 22 still post regularly, and 21 still post or comment rarely (about twice or so per year).

That's usually enough for about 20-30 minutes of reading per day, which isn't a big burden. If more people could see that it wasn't a big drain on their time, maybe more people would post. Then again that catch 22 would be a bit more reading to do... but hey, the LJ format is really worth it for detailed diary/blogging.

As I've mentioned now and then, I bought the lifetime package, so I'll keep participating here as long as I can :>

Yeah, it is an interesting sociological research effort to see why it is that people left... I guess partly short attention spans, partly competition from other journal platforms tied more to media... partly competing journal or "status" platforms (facebook, etc.)... I don't know. And partly the couple of ownership changes which chased people off.

I still like the format/concept, but I'm biased of course. ;)

I think the Russian takeover had a lot to do with it. I know there was a mass exodus after that was announced.

Maybe.. I was thinking that activity was more recent (mid 2010's) but I guess the "real" sale was in 2007.
