Promotion.
Does LiveJournal have any kind of mass-promotion going on? I know that you have to know a user to get a journal (unless, of course, you're willing to pay), but is friend-to-friend word of mouth the only kind of advertising that LiveJournal does right now?
If so, it seems like we're missing out on a big crop of web-using, potentially paying members. I'm not suggesting that LiveJournal go into some kind of huge partnership with AOL, but a banner ad or two couldn't hurt us.
(I take that back. It might offend some of our delicate sensibilities. Still, isn't it worth a little moral sting?)
