On the night of June 3-4, 2010, there was a short-term failure in the operation of LiveJournal.com, visible only to Russian-speaking users.

Bloggers pointed to a strange coincidence in the names of suicide bombers
The full namesake of Maryam Sharipova, who staged a terrorist attack in the capital's metro, blew herself up in Tushino at a rock festival in 2003.

Bloggers warn
The Federal Biomedical Agency is preparing a program to close blood transfusion units at hospitals.

LiveJournal in Russia - more than LiveJournal

Five ways to become a famous blogger

The more a person reads you, the easier it is to create the illusion within yourself that you are not alone and someone needs you. I can understand people who for years are busy with only one thing - acquiring readers in any way.

LJ as a tool of social justice

What does it mean to be a thousand

An Internet blog, which has a lot or a lot of readers, is an independent independent media, and an instrument of social justice, and anything (not excluding the possibility of earning a tangible amount of money).

Live VKontakte

What will happen to LiveJournal if Pavel Durov manages it

In the comments on Roem.ru, Pavel Durov offered to sell him LiveJournal so that he could "revive the legendary resource." I tried to imagine what LiveJournal would look like if it were managed by the founder of VKontakte.

LJ Strikes Back

Rumors of LiveJournal's death are yet to be confirmed.

LiveJournal has been buried for a long time. Recently - with special pathos associated with the sharp growth of social networks, in particular Facebook. The founder of VKontakte Pavel Durov even offered to help the "dying". In LiveJournal and Facebook, the next "funeral" of LiveJournal caused an active discussion. LiveJournal veteran Anton Nosik and Facebook apologist Artur Welf spoke out on this. "Private Correspondent" decided to figure out what is happening with social networks.

drugoi vs. Interfax

The victory of a blogger over a journalist in a single hydroelectric power station

So the seemingly long-awaited conflict of the newest era was born. Blogging and professional journalism, which existed parallel to each other until then, collided face to face at the same time and in the same place - at the dismantling of the debris of the Sayano-Shushenskaya hydroelectric power station. According to Interfax, the Russian "number one blogger" - drugoi, who is also the head of the multimedia blogging department at SUP Rustem Adagamov, Dmitry Afonin, a correspondent for the respected Interfax agency, survived from the scene.

Anton Merkurov

Blogger Mikhail Kovalev, unable to tolerate the regular appearance of not the most censorship vocabulary in blogger Artemy Lebedev's diary, wrote a statement to the Russian prosecutor's office, the purpose of which is to ban the use of invective vocabulary throughout the American portal Livejournal.com. The blogger cares about the moral health of Mr. Lebedev personally, as well as all of his subscribers, and indeed all Internet users. A blogger cannot sleep peacefully and cannot understand in any way that a blog is, in general, a kitchen. And Mr. Lebedev owes nothing to anyone.

Svetlana Ivannikova: “One word in LiveJournal can achieve a lot”

What will change in LiveJournal Russia under the new leadership

Last week it became known that the company SUP, which owns LiveJournal and Gazeta.Ru, underwent a personnel reshuffle. Svetlana Ivannikova, who previously headed the marketing department, has been appointed as the new head of LiveJournal Russia. Svetlana graduated from the Faculty of Journalism of Moscow State University several years ago and wrote a diploma on LiveJournal, which was read to both teachers and students.

Alexey Yablokov: “I have no special relationship with the Internet”

Alexey Yablokov gave an interview to "Chaskor"

The new editor-in-chief of the Smena magazine about consumers and creators, a year and a half of idleness and the benefits of them, glavred blogs and LiveJournal, the Rai village and people who fell out of the business plan, universal human values ​​and New Year's garlands.

Cheap life - smart life

The practice of reasonable consumption within the framework of one experiment

Several friends decided to try to spend wisely for four weeks and write about it in LiveJournal. Their experience turned out to be so interesting that more than 700 readers are already following the community. Maybe this is what we all lack in a society of consumerism?

Vasily Esmanov: "The only way to entertain yourself is to do something yourself"

On July 9, the ceremony of presenting the IX National Prize "Media Manager of Russia - 2009", one of the main domestic awards in the field of media business, took place. Vasily Esmanov, 25-year-old creator of the youth web project Look At Me, became the winner of the award in the New Media nomination by the unanimous decision of the jury - "For creating the only media youth Internet in Russia."

We continue the series of "Memorial Posts".

Apparently it is worth at least once to describe what LiveJournal is for those who have never encountered it. Many who are not part of the LiveJournal community cannot understand for a long time what it is - LiveJournal? Why is he? Who leads it and how does it all work? When someone asks me, every time I start to explain, then I myself get confused, get carried away by the details and go to other steppes. In my opinion, all these confusing explanations should be somehow streamlined and laid out so that newcomers have something to start with.

So, what is LiveJournal, aka LJ, aka LiveJournal, aka LJ?

LiveJournal is a unique online community of people who love to think. These people think often and a lot. In the process of thinking about various life phenomena, they have emotions, opinions, conclusions, ideas and much more. Part of this endlessly and ceaselessly born stream is quite possible to clothe in words. Some of these words people do not want to keep in themselves. Some of what they don't want to keep in themselves, they want to fix somewhere where it will be stored. Also, for example, how a Mesozoic mosquito is stored in an amber drop for millions of years, and is stored until surprised scientists find it in Egypt and pick it out with thin needles in order to recreate exactly the same mosquito from the DNA preserved in its tissues already in our time to breed it already in our time, so that already new mosquitoes will re-arrange here what killed the old mosquito millions of years ago. Perhaps I will write about it in LJ, but we are somewhat distracted. However, we will consider this an illustration of those very thoughts fixed on paper. Move on.

So, we have some thoughts that, due to congenital sclerosis or because of an ambitious desire to imprint our thoughts in the centuries, we want to write down somewhere. Theoretically, our brilliant thoughts can be written down in a paper notebook and put in a nightstand. This option has its advantages and many people do just that. But even these madmen clearly understand that sooner or later, mom will throw this diary in the trash, grandmother will give it to grandfather to read, and dad can even let it roll on cigarettes. In addition, the paper is short-lived. And what is the point of keeping a diary if he is destined to die sooner or later? Have you seen many diaries kept by young ladies in the 19th century? Almost all of them have disappeared in the haze of time.

Therefore, after the Internet was invented, after some time, the unforgettable Brad Fitzpatrick thought: "Why not keep and keep a diary on the Internet?". And then I registered the site and started programming the engine of this site. Just like that, a brilliant idea was born. He decided to call his site LiveJournal and, accordingly, registered it at www.livejournal.com. With this site, people could keep their thoughts for a little longer than a year or two. For example, this entry was made in 2002 and slightly corrected in 2010. That is, it has been kept for 8 years, and the paper diaries of those times have turned yellow.

By the way, this is another plus of the online diary - you can correct your entries. Moreover, this is done a little easier than scratching out the phrase on paper with a razor "Masha is such a fool!", so that later on top of this write "I was a fool, and Masha is cool!".

And so a community appeared, consisting at first of just a few diaries, then of several dozen, then hundreds, then thousands. Today there are millions of diaries in LiveJournal, which are kept by people of all nationalities and religions.

Why is the diary "Live" you ask in bewilderment?

Well, a reasonable question. Imagine that each of the millions of writers who maintain their journals share their joys, sorrows, revelations and secret fantasies with the outside world every second. Moreover, the exchange of thoughts is really similar to a living organism. Each of us not only keeps his own journal, but also reads other people's journals. Isn't it a joy to peep what your friend or neighbor wrote today or yesterday? Moreover, in LiveJournal you can not only look at a friend's journal, but also peep at a stranger's journal. Depending on the desire of the owner of the diary, you may or may not be able to read his diary. If the owner allows (there is such an option in the settings) to read his diary to all strangers, you can easily open his journal and not only read all his thoughts over the past 10 years, but also easily reply to any entry.

Let's say you went to the magazine of your friend or classmate. And, let's say, on Monday morning he already managed to write: "Oh, it would be nice to have a beer today!" You tell him - right in his journal and right under this entry you answer: "You are an alcoholic, Vasily Apollinarievich!" Here, of course, he quits his job and answers you under your answer everything that he thinks about you and about all your hobbies, including marijuana, higher mathematics, building anthills and composing hymns. Then you answer him, and he - again to you. This is how the conversation is built. Conversations are for many pages and for many years. Comments on this entry are also a conversation. If you scroll down this page - you'll see that it's been going on for eight years now - there's a date and time next to each answer.

Responses to entries are called "comments" or, more simply, "comments". Both the entry itself and the comments on it are visible to everyone you allow - you, your friends, or completely unfamiliar and unfamiliar people who just looked into the light. All of them can at any time answer any of you or just on the sidelines - in their own or someone else's diary - write something about both of you.

In each entry and in each answer, you can insert not only text, but also links to websites, pictures, videos, music files and whatever you want. Diaries - or, in other words, blogs - of popularly known personalities, for example, Artemy Lebedev (tema.livejournal.com) or Anton Nosik (dolboeb.livejournal.com), are dotted with thousands of comments from zhezhists of all stripes and options - from the most enthusiastic to angrily - three-story. All this is quite usual for LiveJournal.

If you do not like obsessive attention - you can keep your journal so that no one sees it. Even friends. Then it will be like your paper notebook, only on the Internet, so grandmother will not find it. At any time, you can make any entry open to everyone or to your friends. "Friends" in LiveJournal are those users that you have added to your friend list. That is, as soon as you said - this is my friend! - and pressed the appropriate button - this person can see your posts that you marked "Only friends can read."

Of course, when you don't know what to write in your diary, you can go through your friends' diaries or just any open diaries and see what's new and interesting happening in the world and in LiveJournal. This is very easy to do. Any friend of yours can go to your journal to find all public entries there.

If this morning you wrote something like: "The world is still unfair - the spider has a four-chambered heart, like a person, and not two, but eight legs! Why such injustice?" - your friend, if he has time and he likes you, most likely will not fail to answer you that, they say, it’s good that a person has only two legs, otherwise, how long would you have to cut your nails? This smartest comment, perhaps, would be answered not only by you, but also by your friends. In the end, it would turn out to be an interesting scientific dispute, completely recorded in your journal on one page, where it will be stored for as long as you want. At any time, you can delete any comment, an entire conversation (comment thread), your entry with all the comments, or even your entire diary.

It will be a pity if you turn out to be one of those fools who, in a fit of a momentary surge, deleted a journal with a thousand entries, and then wept bitterly that a huge period of their life with thoughts, emotions and ideas had sunk into oblivion. Now LiveJournal is arranged in such a way that the journal is not deleted immediately, but lies in a secret place for another month or two. It saved a lot of diaries.

In LiveJournal, it sometimes happens that user groups are united into communities of interest. Such groups are called communities. For example, lovers of reading books publish reviews in the Ru_Books community. Each community has its own separate magazine. In general, this is exactly the same diary, the only difference is that any member of the community can post entries in the community diary. That is, it is a diary of many people at once.

You can join any community. That is, to enter the club of interests and follow the publications that other members of the club put in the magazine. You will have the opportunity to publish your own entries there, or simply read others' ones, without joining the club and remaining an outside observer. Cooks or car enthusiasts, cactus lovers and Chinchilla Girls groups, builders and businessmen - there are so many communities that your eyes run wide. Many Russian and foreign companies have their own communities in LiveJournal, in which they try to attract customers and just fans.

For example, when this post was being written, the most popular communities in LiveJournal were the "Ru_sex" and "Girls_on_diet" communities. Later, a wonderful community appeared "I give it away", in which they publish announcements about things that people want to get rid of for free. From there I received a wonderful computer desk, which served me faithfully for many years, after which I gave it to other users myself.

Of course, as the owner of the diary, you yourself can organize your own interest club. Choose any topic and go ahead. For example, no one has yet created a Society of fans to inflate airships. By the way, some users join LiveJournal just to participate in communities. They do not keep their diaries and do not read the diaries of friends.

Each LiveJournal user has a page with your profile (and face). It contains information about yourself, your interests, hang photos and much more. In the same place you can hang the rules for commenting on entries in your diary. For example, to ban swearing in your diary or to ban writing to those who believe that banning swearing is snobbery.

You can often find rules like "If you don't like what I write, get together in columns and go to ...". Or "In my diary, only people from planet Earth are allowed to comment." If you want to describe your interests, you can do it briefly, for example, "I like to think" or "dig", or you can be long and boring (as I like to write). Then, just by clicking on any "interest" with the mouse, you can easily check if someone else likes to dig or if you are the only one so smart.

To make things even better, you can assign yourself an avatar. An avatar is not a movie, but a small 100 by 100 pixel little picture that represents you or your spirit while you are somewhere. From this picture, you can sometimes tell a lot about the owner of the diary. Some put their portrait there. But if you don’t need extra glory, any image that most closely matches your Ego will do. For example, a dog or a flower will do. Axe, rainbow or eye. Pictures are often very interesting. What will be on your avatar is up to you.

You are the author of your diary. You can customize it according to your tastes. Color, paint, mutilate or turn into a masterpiece. There are many ready-made options. The content of your diary can also be anything. Narrowly thematic or broadly public. Political, automotive, musical or mushroom. You can write one word a year, a thousand pages a minute. There are no restrictions. There is paid versions magazine with advanced features, but the vast majority have enough and free version. In order not to forget or lose anyone, you can bookmark the journals of your friends or any interesting comrades from different countries and cities. And then with one click to open them. This is how it all works.

By the way, you can meet especially interesting friends in real life, go to cafes, and maybe even to restaurants. Acquaintance "in real life" after correspondence in LiveJournal is a very common thing. The author of this post knows a lot of ZheZhysts personally. But, of course, you can never meet anyone, limiting yourself to just posts or comments. Numerous friendships, cohabitations and marriages of people who met in LiveJournal are known. In the first years, when the magazine first appeared, we all went to the same places (in Moscow the most famous meeting place was PND - Cafe "Pirogi" on Dmitrovka) and we knew each other by sight.

People write their diaries, read other people's, comment, and all this every day, year after year. The magazine boils, boils and lives its own life. This is indeed a very lively Journal. Gossip, rumors go around it, someone deletes their journals, someone comes to you by some unknown means and adds your journal to their bookmarks. And you, having found an interesting person, add his journal to your list of friends. And so - ad infinitum! People write their thoughts, publish pictures, send links to interesting sites, discuss the latest news and philosophize about everything in the world.

All this is difficult to describe, but for greater clarity, you should simply go to LiveJournal and read a few entries and comments on them. Try to write something to any LiveJournal user. For example me. Directly below this entry at the very bottom there is a box in which you can insert a couple of words and click the "Save" button. Just like in my journal, in most journals you can leave a comment without even being a registered user. If I and other users answer you - all this may seem extremely exciting and interesting to you. Or maybe not.

LiveJournal should be taken more as a part of life than as part of the Internet. Journaling is both a very private and very public activity. To what extent one thing, and to what extent - another - to decide the owner of his journal. Since 2002, LJ has become an integral part of the Runet (the Russian part of the Internet) and now there are almost no those who still (as one of the commentators writes) widen their eyes in surprise at the word "LJ". But even if everyone knows well what LJ is and what it is eaten with, this entry will hang here as long as my journal exists.

Welcome to LiveJournal!

Yours sincerely,
Mikhail Lufanov,
aka Learn-user Mycroft

Today, when LJ is no longer a cake, it is rapidly changing with the times, with the help of financial tools, a blog with almost any content can get to the first lines of the rating. If earlier interesting exclusive content ruled the ball, now for the most part cash infusions, provocative headlines and other ways to break through to the top. But most beginners read their acquaintance with LiveJournal from the TOP. So what blogs are really interesting?

1. varlamov.ru . Everyone knows about Varlamov, and yet, among the daily bombarding top posts, in my opinion, the most interesting ones are about cities. From the "bad"/"good" series. Travel notes from abroad are also good. Everything else is an amateur, but there are also many such amateurs among the army of his readers.

2. macos . Varlamov is wrong about Alexander Belenky, I don’t know why they didn’t grow together there. In fact - a normal guy, I've known him for a long time. And which of us does not get carried away from time to time? You literally read his photo stories from different countries avidly, they are so interesting and professionally made. It’s a pity that there are fewer of them on Alexander’s blog, and more yellowness. But this is understandable, what is the demand, so is the supply.

3. theme . Behind the mask of an Internet boor and shocker is an erudite and intelligent citizen. It is enough to read his posts about design, urban organization, and Tyoma's notes from ALL corners of the world (albeit with mediocre photos) are generally unique material that no one has. And courage ... Maybe from some complexes.

4. sergeydolya . I have been following Sergey's blog since 2008, and I met him personally somewhere in 2012. I learned a lot (I think) from him. Crap, what else is there to say. It's a pity, after switching to NIKON, for some reason the photos became much worse.

5. nemihail . Misha has found his niche and works well, with a delay. By the way, provocative headlines and a cunning lead to the kat are in many ways his invention, adopted today. There is even such an expression - "not michailit." In life, a very sociable and completely unstarry person, respect.

6. aquatek_philips . Sergei Anashkevich is a very cool photographer and traveler. I still remember shooting the night sky with him in Jordan, I also learned something from him. I am always glad to meet and travel together with Sergei.

7. dpmmax . A psychiatrist from Tolyatti Maxim Malyavin, who blogs with his wife, is a very pleasant person in personal communication. In addition, a colleague, so it is very, very interesting with him. The blog contains sparkling psychiatric stories, I recommend it.

8. kiss_my_abs . Sonya Gudim's blog will be primarily of interest to fit young ladies, but even for me, a person far from this topic, it is interesting to read her stories.

9. dolboeb . Anton Borisovich Nosik is the guru of Runet and LiveJournal, this is indisputable. His sophisticated analytical articles "on the topic of the day" will seem too contradictory to many, but it is certainly useful to read them.

10. dubikvit . Blog filled with interesting stories from the past - mainly about how certain films were shot. Very exciting.

11. popados . Artur Shigapov, who has traveled most of the world and written many guidebooks for different countries, is bright and sharp on the tongue, his posts are read in one breath. The sweetest person in life.

12. mossudmed . Notes by a Moscow forensic expert, complete with vivid and ominous close-ups that reveal why this or that person died. It will be interesting to readers with strong nerves.

13. ammo1 . Alexey Nadezhin writes daily about all kinds of gadgets and electronic accessories, tests various pieces of iron - from light bulbs to computers.

14. doktorbel . Notes of a resuscitator.

15. lovigin . Everyone knows Pyotr Lovygin as a talented photographer who gets into various assholes of the world and vividly tells about them. You can't confuse his photos with anyone else's. Master of his craft.

16. stalic . A connoisseur of oriental cooking and the author of several books on this subject. In addition, even before the advent of Instagram, he was a professional in terms of perfect food photography.

17. ljpromo . Oleg Ovchinnikov, who lives where there is a cloudless sky over the whole country, is a connoisseur of LiveJournal. It is from his blog that you can learn secrets and lift the veils hidden from prying eyes. With all questions of ratings and other UK - to him.

18. vmenshov . The same focus of the blog as Oleg, plus very cool macro photography of insects.

I consider LiveJournal (www.livejournal.com) to be the most valuable and unique source of information, I dream of sorting this information into "shelves" and "business cards" (like "catalogue multimedia cards") of my Panlog. But for this, it is first necessary to single out the most popular “live journals” (blogs, diaries), although, of course, popularity-mass character is by no means a guarantee of informativeness and thoroughness. I myself dream of slowly evaluating every significant blog, but only during the contentization of the Personalities section of my Panlog. However, an overview of the most interesting blogs, including political ones, is presented in the LJ itself in the blogs of Ilya Peresedov and Denis Tukmakov. Someone I would add, including from the list of my friends. It is not so much the discussion of important topics that is important, but the receipt of important information and stimulating intellectual impulses. First - this is what, having spent tremendous work, Ilya Peresedov selected in the material "Who's Who in LiveJournal":

Summary overview(about 200 names) readable magazines LJ.

Blogs are informative (with a distinct theme), meaningful, as a rule, do not develop a mental disorder in friends.
