An Update About Crossposting
Aug. 22nd, 2011 02:39 pmA few weeks ago, I posted an entry to livejournal about crossposting, in order to gauge how many people are still reading my entries there. Turns out there are still quite a few of you, so crossposting will continue for now!
However, I should probably not that I'd set my arbitrary threshold at twenty readers ... and I got twenty-two responses in total. Barring a huge change in circumstances, I don't see my crossposting to lj as a permanent thing. My plan is to review annually to check if there are still a significant number of people I'd be inconveniencing if I stopped. Readers exclusively on livejournal would still be able to see my posts by setting up an RSS feed through their friendslist, but I realize that this is an annoying extra step to follow with a journal you might have been reading on lj for a decade.
I reserve the right to review this decision if livejournal does something particularly boneheaded tomorrow.
