It is a reassuring fact that in a world of commas, colons and clauses, we will always have the Livejournal contributors, using their intricate combination of poor spelling, worse grammar, and occasionally 1337 to balance the world.
The Livejournal project, started in 1976 by Linus Torvalds (who was German until he moved) was originally started as a search engine service.

 Pulling sense out of today’s informational chaos   (Site not responding. Last check: )
LiveJournal acts as a system of knowledge creation in two ways: first, on the level of individual users and their personal journals and friends pages, and second, on the larger level of community journals and discussions.
LiveJournal, as a whole, can be seen as a community of practice as it allows people to learn, through the use of the system itself, a new way to create and share knowledge that is becoming much more useful in today’s world of informational chaos.
In conclusion, LiveJournal represents a new method of understanding the world through knowledge creation and sharing — a need that is increasingly unfulfilled by current systems, especially in the minds of the younger generation who have been brought up in a post–modern world filled with too much information.
