Social media inward looking wankery
2009-May-05, Tuesday 22:01Couldn't resist writing this one up: In post-Soviet Russia, President blogs you. The President of Russia has a Livejournal (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
blog_medvedev) and updates it (or gets someone to, anyway) fairly regularly.
( LJ, its future, DW not a threat and SUp taking it in the wrong direction )
Ah well. I'm supposed to be writing up what's wrong with the OpenID implementation on both LJ and DW, but I keep getting distracted.
Short version: ( Both sites are problematic, DW has the excuse of being new, LJ has no excuse at all )
That's pathetic. Hopefully the competitive pressure from DW will push them into making more improvements, like it has done elsewhere. Competition is, after all, a good thing, and LJs been stuck in its own little rut with nowt but a bunch of clones for too long.
Meh, rambling. Time to go do something constructive.
