Næppe har SixApart købt LiveJournal før første ulykke indtræffer 7:35 pm PST:
Temporarily Unavailable
LiveJournal is currently down due to a massive power failure at our data center. We'll provide updates at /powerloss/ as they're available.
Our data center (Internap, the same one we've been at for many years) lost all its power, including redundant backup power, for some unknown reason. (unknown to us, at least) We're currently dealing with verifying the correct operation of our 100+ servers. Not fun. We're not happy about this. Sorry... :-/ More details later.

Commentspam
Så nåede Spam bloggospheren.
Nogen tager det meget alvorligt CommentSpam, CommentSPAM.org
På Services siden ligger to - hm, døde - links til lister og spammeres IP adresser.
Nogen er meget, meget sure, Attention Comment Spammers
Commentspam findes i forskellige genrer ifølge Concerning SpamComment Spam Manifesto
Mange skriver meget: En Google liste om Commentspam
Baggrunden er Googles Ranking system, så Google får også et par rituelle hak: Wired, 12.03.04
Bortset fra irritationen og belastede servere er bekymringen også betydningen for kommunikation:
"Howard Rheingold, a futurist who predicts always-on communication will revolutionize public discourse, is worried that all these new forms of spam could freeze the revolution in its tracks. There will be no great social transformation if cell phones are turned off, instant messenger programs shut down or blog comments disabled to halt the flow of offers for online porn or cheap drugs.
“It forces you to either turn off the comments and lose some of the value of the medium, or spend your time deleting spam,” said Rheingold, who runs his own blog." (Spammers now clogging blogs, IM, Personal Web journals grow cell phones, instant messages)
Og så er der da også afballancerede meninger: Comment spam arms race

E:M | No blogging, no social networking: "No blogging, no social networking
Friends in Iran, journalists and technicians, are saying that judiciary officials have ordered all major ISP to filter all blogging services including PersianBlog, BlogSpot, Blogger, BlogSky, and even BlogRolling.
They have also ordered to filter Orkut, Yahoo Personals and some other popular dating and social networking websites."

Serendipity - min yndlingsbegreb :)
- kontrolfreaks på arbejde.... igen!
Whatever happened to serendipity?
Kommentar til Jonathan Abrams' beskrivelse af Friendster som services som "proactively influence serendipity."
Serendipity and Self-Selection with Social Software - The Social Software Weblog - socialsoftware.weblogsinc.com: "Serendipity and Self-Selection with Social Software"
Mens jeg er tilbøjelig til at give Judith Meskill (thesocialwareblog) ret i hendes skepsis overfor det proaktive, synes jeg nu ikke begrebet serendipity står helt klart i Judith Meskills kommentar. Ligesom serendipity næppe kan 'proaktiveres frem', kan det vel heller ikke siges at Google/ensøgemaskine er 'serendipity værktøj', men blot et værktøj, hvor - under brug af hvilket - serendipity kan forekomme.

Technorati + blog = ?

Tim has added tracking 'bubblets' to his blog, and Boing Boing may have started a trend by adding Technorati searches for each article. - Dave has added them to his blog and to PlanetSun for example."

Rygtet bekræftes
Six Apart køber LiveJournal. Brad Fitzpatrick gør i sandhed, hvad han kan for at imødegå de bekymringer, der har huseret blandt LJ'erne de sidste dage. Mens bekymringerne rettede sig mod kulturen, er forsvaret rettet mod trust. En eksemplarisk case om to af nettets store buzzword.
NB. den enorme diskussion, Brad Fitzpatrick' annnouncement affødte på sitet!
Mena (Six Apart) har også i Mena's Corner et langt indlæg om handlen. Hun omtaler eksplicit hierarkiet og fordommene bloggerne imellem, men hun har jo også erfaring med, hvilke konflikter, der hurtigt kan hvirvles op i det miljø...... (Mena's Shocking Baby Scandal! I, II)
Også Mena ved præcis, hvad Branding and Affiliation is all about in the times of Risk Society: Earning Your Trust
"Change is scary and we can certainly expect LiveJournalers to worry about what this acquisition means for them. While we certainly can't just say "trust us" and gain all 5.6 million users' trust from day one..."

[day in the life] gør sig nogle interessante overvejelser over det billede medierne (læs journalister) giver af bloggere, og slutter med:
"I'd love to do a content analysis of major mass media outlet coverage of blogs and bloggers over the past couple of years - what is the non-blogging public hearing about blogs?"
Hvem kommer først? :)

Bloggerne fusionere. The 'Tribes' protesterer.
Rygterne fortæller at Six Apart er i færd med at købe Live Journal:
Om Malik on Broadband - Six Apart to buy Live Journal
apophenia er ikke begejstret og begrundelsen er ret interessant:
Rygterne fortæller at Six Apart er i færd med at købe Live Journal:
Om Malik on Broadband - Six Apart to buy Live Journal
apophenia er ikke begejstret og begrundelsen er ret interessant:
"Live Journal is a culture, not simply a product or commodity that can be bought. From an outsider's perspective, it might appear as though they are similar properties - they are both blogging tools, right? Wrong. [......] Movable Type is a product; LiveJournal is a community. Six Apart is seen as a community that provides tools, not culture. [.....]While many bloggers love to talk about LJ with disdain, as a low-brow version of the culture, i adore LJ from the bottom of my heart and i'm truly concerned that LJ's culture will be corrupted by an acquisition. It is not like any other blogging service and the needs that it serves are fundamentally different."
Om LJ, se.....
