““It sounds a little odd, but my first gay kiss, my first gay bar experience, my first gay friend—all a result of LiveJournal,” he says with a laugh. “And all with LiveJournalers.””

“Languages thus seemed to be employed also to a symbolic function, i.e. not necessarily in connection to the bloggers’ level of language proficiency: “the frequency of this practice suggests that many LiveJournalers, even those who lack the linguistic or non-verbal means to interact directly with speakers of other languages, are aware that LJ is a cosmopolitan environment, and orient to that fact, albeit superficially” (Herring et al. 2007: n.p.).”

“There isn’t definitive research on the differences between LiveJournal users and Xanga users, but the perception is that Xanga skews younger and is more popular with Asian teens while LiveJournalers tend to be more artsy or “emo.””

“Unfortunately, there weren’t enough LiveJournalers in my immediate area to have a Meetup, and it didn’t seem worth it to travel down to New York City for a LiveJournalers Meetup.”

“LiveJournalers love quizzes. What kind of hobbit are you? Are you a great lover? What planet are you most like? Which character from some movie are you? What's your emotional type? They fill them in and their friends fill them in and everyone compares their results. Harmless fun.”

“Many LiveJournalers choose not to use real names when discussing people online, instead electing to assign pseudonyms or just initials.”

“Specifying age groups helped ensure variation of age within the sample. This is important in light of suggestions that most bloggers are between the ages of 13 and 19 (Bortree, 2005; Henning, 2003) – a trend that is also reflected in the demographic characteristics of LiveJournal users. These criteria were met by using LiveJournal’s advanced search feature. For example, a search would be performed for LiveJournalers from Melbourne between the ages of 30–40 who had updated in the last month (at 4 April 2006, such a search produces about 270 blogs).”

“Every LiveJournaler had their own style. Some people wrote exclusively about one topic. Others wrote about all kinds of things.”

“TheFerrett is the fifth-most popular LiveJournaler of all time as of July 2016.”
