Why...

...is LJ's front page now trying so hard to look like Twitter? It reeks of cheap desperation and pointlessness.

I would figure that the people who want Twitter will use Twitter. Those of us who appreciate LJ for how it differs from Twitter, would prefer it maintains its uniqueness.

(Idealism or naivete? You be the judge!)

Well, it's what you want; it's not for me to judge. But if most LJers are like you, then the change is a bad one from either an artistic or a business standpoint.

Personally, I'm like the other guy -- never even look at www.livejournal.com, so didn't notice. (Of course, I also never use Twitter.)

To me, the main change in recent months is definitely for the worse -- sometimes being forced to sit through a commercial before commenting. Fortunately, my browser doesn't autoplay such material.

Apparently I wasn't alone -- the front page has been changed back by popular demand!
