LiveJournal vs. Magefan Extensions

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

• 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.

• 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.

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

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

• I do not use this for business purposes anymore, as mentioned.
