DISQUS

Two great posts. I would agree stronger with Tim's post than RW. Paraphrasing one comment, it is easy to Monday morning QB the failure, harder to do during the game. Mentors certainly can help smooth things out. Looking back on LJ and its era, it predated many of the tools available today that have made syndication easier (e.g. smartphones and ubiquotous internet connections) so they were not only having to sort out user needs but wait for technology to catch up. A counter point would be to view Flickr's success. Their business model started off being gaming but after user input they switched to on-line photo sharing. The valley of "Crisis of Meaning" can be hard to escape without strong resolution since the signals can be very conflicting.
