    I feel it's better for personal blogging than for business.

    As we have to show the highlights of our blogs in the main page of our website. We choose Live Center as here it is very easy to embed those blogs in the home page. Also, this embeding thing was done by content creator so we don't have to reach to developer always.

    Pros
    LiveJournal
    • The friends list feature aggregates content posted by the users and communities you follow, so you don't have to visit each individual journal.
    • The privacy settings are easy to use and understand. Posts can be set as public, friends-only, private, or you can create a custom privacy filter that enables access only by certain users you have approved.
    • LiveJournal offers a wide variety of journal styles and customization options, with the most options available to paid subscribers.
    • Communities enable users to make online friends and connections who share similar interests. Users may comment on posts and initiate conversations with original authors and other commenters.

    Cons
    LiveJournal
    • LiveJournal is a bit clunky. Posting is easy, but formatting a post can be a bit difficult, especially if the user doesn't have much HTML expertise.
    • The search function is practically unusable. When searching for a community to join or check out, it is difficult to wade through the list of results. Often times, the results that come back are not related to the topic a user is searching for.

    • The flow of comments could be improved.
    • The ability to turn off auto updates on a live blog doesn't exist.
    • Could add more reporting functionality.

    As long as I have friends using it, I will use it. But I can't predict how long that will be the case.

    Alternatives Considered
    LiveJournal
    LiveJournal does not hold a candle to any of these alternatives in my opinion. The above options allow for more flexibility with their free suites, and provide more professional results with less work. We actually do not use the LiveJournal much anymore because these other alternatives work far better. We used it only as an additive to what the other products bring us
