LANDMARK MOMENT: The end of free, ad-less Livejournal accounts
Wow.
Livejournal removes the ability to create a Basic Account.
Only journals created BEFORE...well...today will ever be able to switch between a Basic and a Plus account.
Any journals created from today on out will have only two account options: Plus or Paid.
For the second time today: WTF LJ?!
This would be so much less depressing if the available replacements for lj out there didn't all...well, suck. (GreatestJournal imploding, InsaneJournal also full of ads, etc.)
I believe we are truly seeing the start of the predicted end of the blogosphere. Within five years, I predict blogging will be nearly extinct, except for the die-hard bloggers and specialty blogs (i.e. journalist blogs and the like).
Sad, really. It was good and exciting while it was going.
