FYI: LiveJournal is getting rid of the "Basic" (no ads) account.

Everyone who has a free account now still has a free account. However, everyone who chooses to create a new LJ will have to choose between Paid and Plus (with ads). brad's journal goes into a good description of this and also relates how he feels about it.

I think the problem with the others is that they're all offshoots of LJ and there's no one that's better than the rest so people are all divided between them. I know some of my friends are on IJ, others are on GJ... which one do I choose?! LJ has been far and away the best for such a long time that it has no real competitor. Mind you, if LJ keeps pushing people away as it is doing, the ranks of the others are going to swell. It just depends where most people go.

I suppose there's always Blogger...
