LiveJournal was founded in 1999 by Brad Fitzpatrick, who initially developed it as a personal journaling application for his own use .

Fitzpatrick’s original intent was to create a tool that allowed him to keep a private online diary, but as he shared it with friends, the application quickly gained popularity .

Recognizing its potential, Fitzpatrick transformed the application into a public platform, enabling others to create their own journals and share their thoughts and experiences online .

This marked the beginning of LiveJournal as a social networking site that uniquely combined blogging with social interaction features .

What set LiveJournal apart from other blogging platforms of its era was its strong emphasis on community engagement and social interaction .

Unlike many blogging sites that focused primarily on public broadcasting of content, LiveJournal allowed users to interact intimately with friends through features such as comments, private posts, and a "friends" system that curated content based on user preferences .

The "friends list" feature enabled users to add friends and see their posts in a personalized feed, fostering ongoing interaction and connection .

Users could also control who could see their posts through customizable privacy settings, allowing for more intimate and trusted sharing .

This friend-centric model, including the ability to create "friends-only" posts, fostered a sense of community and personal connection that distinguished LiveJournal from competitors like Blogger and WordPress, which were more focused on public blogging and less on social interaction .

LiveJournal also enabled users to create and join communities centered around specific topics or interests, further enhancing its community-oriented nature .

These communities allowed users to engage in discussions, share content, and form friendships based on shared passions, which was a distinctive feature compared to other blogging platforms that lacked such interactive and social networking capabilities .

The platform supported customizable user profiles and rich commenting tools, creating a vibrant ecosystem where users could express themselves and engage with others .

LiveJournal’s design was inspired by earlier online communities like the WELL, allowing for a more personalized experience compared to other platforms like Myspace and Facebook, which later emerged and dominated the social media landscape .

At its peak in early 2005, LiveJournal had over 2.5 million active accounts, making it a significant player in the early days of social media and blogging, particularly among English-speaking users .

The platform was especially popular among writers, artists, and niche communities such as fandoms and creative writing groups, contributing to a vibrant and diverse user base that included many young adults and teenagers .

LiveJournal’s community features attracted users interested in personal expression, creative collaboration, and forming tight-knit online spaces for discussion and sharing .

LiveJournal’s influence on the development of modern blogging and social media platforms is substantial.

It pioneered many features now standard in social media, such as user-generated content, community building through friends lists, interactive commenting systems, and friend-based privacy controls .

The ability to create private entries and communities centered around specific interests fostered a strong sense of belonging among users .

These features have been adopted and adapted by subsequent platforms like Tumblr, Medium, Facebook, and Twitter, highlighting LiveJournal’s foundational role in the evolution of online communication .

Despite its early success, LiveJournal’s popularity began to decline after its peak in 2005 .

Several factors contributed to this downturn.

The rise of other social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr offered more dynamic, engaging, and broader social networking capabilities, drawing users away from LiveJournal .

These newer platforms provided more advanced tools for interaction, broader audience reach, and real-time updates, which appealed to users seeking more immediate and visually engaging social experiences .

The shift in user preferences toward more visual and instant forms of communication, along with the rise of mobile blogging and visually-oriented platforms, further contributed to LiveJournal’s decline as users gravitated toward sites with more modern interfaces and functionalities .

Technical issues and a lack of innovation also played a role in LiveJournal’s decline.

Users reported technical problems such as downtime and slow performance, which frustrated the community and made the platform less appealing compared to newer, more reliable alternatives .

LiveJournal’s interface became outdated as the internet evolved, and the platform struggled to keep pace with the rapid development of user experience and mobile accessibility seen in its competitors .

Ownership and management changes further impacted LiveJournal’s trajectory.

In 2005, LiveJournal was acquired by Six Apart, and later by SUP Media in 2007, a Russian company .

These changes led to concerns about user privacy, data management, and, particularly among its English-speaking user base, censorship .

The introduction of monetization strategies and new policies alienated some of its core users, accelerating the shift away from the platform .

As a result, by the mid-2010s, LiveJournal’s user engagement and relevance within the blogging community had significantly diminished .

The cultural impact of LiveJournal on online communities is notable.

It served as a precursor to many social media platforms that followed, influencing how people interact online .

LiveJournal emphasized community and personal storytelling, laying the groundwork for later developments in social media where user-generated content and community engagement became central to the user experience .

The platform fostered a culture of blogging that encouraged users to share their lives and connect with others, a cultural legacy that persists in various forms across the internet today .

Demographically, LiveJournal attracted a diverse user base, particularly young adults and teenagers interested in personal blogging, fandoms, and creative writing, drawn by its unique community features .

While specific demographic data over time is not available, it is clear that the platform was especially favored by English-speaking users during its peak .

Today, LiveJournal is often regarded as a relic of early social media, with most users having migrated to other platforms.

However, it still retains a niche community, including notable users such as author George R.

Martin, who continues to use the platform for blogging .

In summary, LiveJournal’s history is marked by its transformation from a personal journaling application into a pioneering social

LiveJournal was founded in 1999 by Brad Fitzpatrick, who initially developed it as a personal journaling application for his own use .

Content: Regulators Seem to Think That Facebook Is the Internet

That’s a problem.

In 1997, SixDegrees.com was the first real attempt at social networking, creating a space where users could upload their information and list their friends. The site peaked at approximately 3.5 million users before it shut down in 1999.

Since then, a series of social networking business models have emerged, each time offering more advanced tools for user interaction. LiveJournal, a site for keeping up with school friends, combined blogging and social networking features inspired by the WELL; Friendster was a social network that allowed for increased interaction and control by users; Myspace had open membership and gave users the freedom to customize their pages. In 2005, it—and its 25 million user base—was sold to News Corp. But within three years, Myspace had been surpassed by Facebook, which launched in 2004 for college students and opened to everyone in 2006.

As that history shows, in the early days of the internet, disruption was profound and constant: New companies emerged in music, video, e-commerce, publishing, and telephony on an almost yearly basis. The internet appeared to be a space where competition could thrive.

Not anymore.

Today, disruption happens in much smaller ways. The examples are getting fewer because economies of scale have concentrated innovation in the hands of a few players.

More often, disruption comes from regulation—for better or, often, for worse. Current regulation attempts focus on the actions and behavior of some actors—chiefly Facebook—while creating unintended consequences for the internet, particularly fragmentation, or the splintering of the global internet into one that more closely hews territorial borders.

Advertisement

It’s understandable that both the public and regulators might think that regulating “the internet” means focusing on the biggest players. Much of it has to do with the fact that users are often exposed to various types of illegal behavior and content through some of the most popular services that exist on the internet. Fix misinformation, or extremism, or ideological silos, or security on Facebook, the thinking goes, and you’ve fixed it on the internet as a whole.

Advertisement

But this is an unhelpful and misguided narrative. First, the internet is not a monolith, so treating it as if it is simply will not work. Second, many of the issues regulators are trying to address are not internet problems; they are societal. Terrorism, child abuse, and mis- and disinformation are not an offspring of the internet; they existed before the internet, and they will continue to exist after it as they are ingrained in human societies. Yet, they are treated as if they are exclusively internet problems. Third, and most importantly, regulators should stop thinking of the internet as Facebook and treating it as such. In the internet regulatory landscape, there is a mixed bag of different issues, and Facebook’s involvement in all of them, direct or indirect, adds to the current complexity. Content moderation, privacy, intermediary liability, competition, encryption—these are all broader issues related to the internet, not just Facebook. Yet, the pattern that has emerged is to treat them as Facebook issues. What this means is that, instead of focusing on trying to address them in ways appropriate for the entire internet ecosystem, they are addressed through the Facebook lens. This has been quite accurately characterized as the “Facebook Derangement Syndrome.”

Advertisement
Advertisement

The global regulatory agenda is replete with such examples. In the United Kingdom, the Online Safety legislation wants to ban end-to-end encryption because of Facebook’s plan to introduce it as a default setting in its Messenger service. On the other side of the Commonwealth, Australia recently introduced a media bargaining code mainly targeting Facebook. Facebook famously “left” the country before renegotiating a new agreement. Similarly, in what seems to be a coordinated effort, Canada has vowed to work with Australia in an attempt to impose regulatory restrictions on Facebook.

And this trend is not limited to the Commonwealth.

India’s new intermediary guidelines aim at tightening a regulatory grip on Facebook and its partner company WhatsApp while Brazil’s fake news bill, which got approved by the Senate, is focusing on content moderation on Facebook and traceability on WhatsApp. In France, there have been conversations about the introduction of “new rules” for Facebook, while Germany’s Network Enforcement Law—NetzDG—was drafted with the primary focus of taming Facebook. Finally, in the United States, the Trump administration issued an unsuccessful executive order that aimed to regulate Facebook for bias.

Advertisement

This approach of limiting regulation to Facebook is not entirely unusual. It reflects the principal-agent conundrum that, over the years, has allowed companies like Facebook to  propose policies and deploy tools that can have an impact on the way regulation gets to be enforced. The principal-agent problem is predominantly characterized by conflict of interest and moral hazards. Due to information asymmetries, the agent holds the bargaining power, and this creates a few unknowns: The principal is in no position to know the information the agent holds. Even when she does, she cannot be certain that the agent is acting to her best interest. So, the principal ends up focusing squarely on the agent, disregarding any peripheral issues that might be significant.

Advertisement
Advertisement

The principal-agent problem may help explain why governments appear ready to introduce regulation targeting Facebook; however, it does not help explain why, in the process of doing so, the main loser is the internet and its users.

Over the past couple of years, Facebook has said, “We support regulation,” and “we want updated internet regulations to set clear guidelines for addressing today’s toughest challenges.” This statement would be significant if it did not come across as self-serving. At this stage, regulation is inescapable and Facebook knows it—as does the rest of big tech. In an effort to adapt to this new reality, companies often take advantage of their dominant position to drive regulatory processes, often at the expense of regulation itself.

Advertisement

In this context, the question we should be asking is not whether regulation is appropriate, but what are the real implications of regulating in such a manner? There is already an argument that focusing on a few, big players has an impact on the health of innovation and the ability of newcomers to compete. And, then, there is the internet. The internet’s global reach is one of its main strengths. It is a feature, not a bug. Among other things, it allows the maintenance of supply chains all over the world; it allows people to communicate; it lowers costs; and it makes information sharing easier, all the while helping to address societal issues like poverty or climate change.

Advertisement
Advertisement

To this end, the attempt to regulate based on one—or a handful—of companies can jeopardize this very important goal of the internet. It can create fragmentation, in the sense of not allowing data to flow across borders or networks to interconnect, and this can be very real and have a very big impact. It can impose limits on the way information and data gets to be shared and the way networks may interoperate. These are significant trade-offs, and they must be part of any regulation’s process.

Advertisement

So where do we go from here?

For sure, the answer cannot be to stop regulating. We must accept, however, that the current approach often generates unintended consequences that only superficially affect those who must be regulated.

In this light, a possible way forward is to experiment with regulation. Experimental regulation is a relatively underused approach, yet it is flexible enough to accommodate dynamic markets, like the internet. Originally associated with the work of John Dewey, this idea is premised on the fact that, in policymaking, the way we approach theories and strategies of justice depends on “the experience of their pursuit; it is these changes that then allow us to consider how best to achieve our objectives.” The advantage of this thinking is that it considers unintended consequences as an opportunity to better define appropriate regulatory frameworks and how to achieve the desired goals.

Advertisement

Internet regulation does not experiment enough, and when it does, it appears to have the wrong focus. In Australia, for instance, the effort to ensure robust journalism in an age of disinformation in social media platforms led to a “link tax” that undermines the architecture, history, and economics of the internet. This is partly due to the role big tech companies play in the regulatory process. One of the immediate things one can observe with internet regulation is the process some actors deploy: In the beginning, they operate in favor of sustaining existing policies and bureaucracies. The thinking is that longevity brings legitimacy, and as a result, the policy becomes its own cause. Once this strategy is embedded in process, these powerful forces move toward pushing their own regulatory agenda.

Advertisement

It is for this reason that there is a certain appeal toward flexible regulatory systems that allow different units to experiment with different approaches and make room for assessments that separate the relevant from the nonrelevant and preexisting rules. Although experimentation neither offers a drastic approach nor aims to replace traditional routes of regulation, it can limit the risks of politicization, as politics become more context focused.

One of the first things we need is an internet impact assessment that looks at the different parts of the internet’s infrastructure and the effect that regulation may have. It is no longer just about regulating a few actors. It is about protecting the global infrastructure that we all depend on daily.

The internet has a Facebook problem, but the internet is not Facebook.

Readly: 2021 Reading trends revealed - consumers are turning their homes into havens to relax and enjoy life

STOCKHOLM, Dec. 6, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The European category leader within digital magazine subscriptions, has compiled a report detailing the top magazine reading trends of 2021. It demonstrates the continued impact the pandemic is having on consumers and their interests. The latest insights show that 210,000 digital issues were read 120 million times on the platform with spiked readership in categories such as Home & Renovation and TV, Film & Cinema. During 2021 the number of bookmarked pages increased by 46% and the majority of these pages were recipes.

The increased focus on stay-at-home activities started in 2020 because of the pandemic and has continued during 2021. But there is also a parallel trend emerging - an increased interest for wellness and outdoor activities.

- Although people are turning their homes into places where they can recharge, enjoy food and escape reality, it is actually the readership of the Running, Cycling & Fitness magazines that increased the most. Maybe it is the ultimate mix of activities that appeal to the crowd. After all, there is no better feeling than to eat a bowl of pasta in front of your favorite series after you have had a proper workout, says Chris Couchman, Head of Content at Readly.

Categories where reading has increased the most during 2021 across all markets:

1) Running, Cycling & Fitness (32%)
2) Home & Renovation (30%)
3) TV film & Cinema (26%)
4) Cars & Motoring (26%)
5) Travel & Regional (25%)

Cooking is the new indoor entertainment

The number of bookmarked pages in magazines has increased by 46% during the year, and most of these are cooking recipes. By taking a closer look at the pages with most bookmarks it seems that there is an urge for comfort food such as one-pots and pans. Some examples of the most bookmarked recipes:

  • In the UK: One-pot prawn & lentil curry
  • In Germany: Potato Farmer Pan
  • In Australia: One-pan greek lemon chicken & rice

- Maybe the pandemic has caused us to crave hearty and cosy meals that can be enjoyed by the whole family. Readers have definitely found comfort in these recipes and cooking has strengthened its position as the number one indoor entertainment, says Chris Couchman, Head of Content at Readly.

Readly's content portfolio has continued to grow rapidly over the last few years reaching 6,300 magazine titles during 2021, with a catalogue totalling around 210,000 magazine issues from 11 markets. Readership of foreign titles represent a fifth of all read issues where US magazine Rolling Stone's issue with Dua Lipa got the biggest global audience.

UK magazine snapshot

  • British readers have read 21 million issues
  • 10% of all titles read by UK users are foreign titles
  • 22% of all titles read by UK users are back issues
  • 6 pm on Thursdays is the most popular time to read magazines

Content: December 2022: What’s New and Gay on HBO Max, Netflix, Prime Video, Peacock, Hulu, Paramount+ and Prime Video?

It’s hard to believe that December is already upon us, and with it the enduring question: which lesbian, queer, bisexual and trans women characters can we anticipate to be streaming upon Netflix, HBO Max, Prime Video, Hulu, Peacock, Paramount+ and so forth? The answer is “not a whole lot” because it is now the holiday season, and despite a handful of queer developments in the past few years, we have been aggressively overlooked as a community in 2022.

I looked deeply into the contents of so very many new Christmas movies debuting this season and came up completely empty-handed regarding queer women and trans characters, although I would like to give my regards to the cis gay male community because they are about to have a banner year!

The only new Christmas movies announced thus far with queer women characters are Merry & Gay, which debuts December 1st on queer streaming platform DivaBoxOffice.TV and, allegedly, one called “Looking for Her” on Tubi, which I cannot find any info about aside from a brief mention in this Entertainment Weekly article.

Anyhow, let’s get into what else is on!

HBO Max’s LGBTQ+ Content for Gals, Gays and Theys in December 2022

Sort Of: Season Two Premiere – December 1

We’re so extremely very excited for the return of Sort Of, which won Most Groundbreaking Representation in the 2022 Autostraddle TV Awards. HBO Max has declared that it is the “season of love” for Sabi Mehboob (Bilal Baig) who’s looking for uncomplicated romance and for everybody in their lives to love each other. But drama is afoot: their Dad returns unexpectedly from Dubai, the Kaneko-Bauers are struggling with Bessy newly released from rehab and Bar Bük is facing a potential eviction and shutdown.

Gossip Girl: Season 2 Premiere – December 1

According to Collider, Season Two of this reboot about hot rich teenagers at an elite high school in New York City terrorized by revelatory text messages is “packed with as much campy fun and sharp pop culture references as the first go-around” while also containing “some of the first season’s flaws.” Queer character Monet will be working on her complicated relationship with her mother, continuing her quest for power and exploring her sexuality “a little more.”

Doom Patrol: Season 4 Premiere – December 8

In Season 4, “the team unexpectedly travels to the future to find an unwelcome surprise” and then, “faced with their imminent demise, the Doom Patrol must decide once and for all which is more important: their own happiness or the fate of the world?” Diane Guerrero is returning as lesbian character Kay Challis/Crazy Jane and Madeline ZIma is joining the cast as bisexual character Casey Brinke.Space Case, an everyday EMT with a peculiar origin story of her own sucked into the Doom Patrol’s escapades.

I Hate Suzie Too Premiere – December 22

I didn’t know we were getting another season of this delightful British black comedy! What a Christmas miracle! This three-part “anti-Christmas Christmas special” will find Suzie (Billie Piper) amid a rebrand with a new agent and a new job on a reality competition show, Dance Crazee. Her personal life remains rocky — she’s estranged from her best friend Naomi (a bisexual character played by Leila Farzad) and her ex-husband Cob, while trying very hard to create a good life for her son. Trans Iranian writer/actor Yaz Zadeh is also joining the cast.

Netflix’s LGBTQ+ Movies and TV Shows for December 2022

My Unorthodox Life: Season 2 – December 2

In Season Two, former ultra-orthodox business mogul Julie Haart battles for control of her empire while going through a divorce. Furthermore, she will be attempting to reconnect with her daughter Batsheva and guide her daughter Miriam through her first committed relationship with a woman.

The Circle: Season 5 – December 28

The fifth season of social media reality TV show “The Circle” has filled its one-bedroom apartments with singles, including the series’ first deaf contestant and quite a few LGBTQ people, including at least one bisexual woman.

I’m also getting a vibe from some of the stills from the Norwegian series “A Storm for Christmas,” out December 16, but obviously cannot confirm at this time.

Prime Video’s Offering To the LGBTQ+ Audience In December 2022

The Almond & The Seahorse (2022) – available for rent on December 16

Queer actress Rebel Wilson plays an archeologist grappling with her husband’s traumatic brain injury in this drama that also stars Charlotte Gainsbourg as an architect who’s female partner is suffering from a similar brain injury. Together they “fight to re-imagine a future” that has left them “adrift from the people they love” and, judging from the trailer, do find that solace in each other’s arms/mouths.

Hulu’s Lesbian and Queer and Trans Characters for December 2022

Darby & The Dead (2022) – December 2

Trans filmmaker Silas Howard is at the helm of this supernatural teen drama he describes as “tender, punketty rocketty & funny af.” It follows Darby Harper, a high school student able to see ghosts following a near-death experience in her childhood who now runs a side business counseling local spirits. Queer actor Auli’i Cravalho plays the queen bee of the school’s most exclusive clique who dies after a freak hair straightening accident and begins pleading with Darby from the other side to intervene in her real-world life. Trans actress Nicole Maines plays Piper, and said in a press conference that the story breathes “new life into what we think of as the popular girls or the popular kids” by having the high school’s top dogs come from “marginalized communities.” Hopefully one of those communities is the LGBT community, which seems likely considering the talent on this team!

Life Partners (2014) – December 15

A delightful little comedy about “two codependent best friends — one straight girl, one lesbian — and the man who comes between them.”

Mack & Rita (2022) – December 23

30-year-old influencer Mack, who idolizes her dead grandmother and has always felt older than her peers, goes to a past-life regression situation and emerges in the body of a 70-year-old played by Diane Keaton. When this film came out pretty much everybody hated it. The alleged comedy also features Loretta Devine as Sharon, the mother of Mack’s best friend Carla (Taylour Paige), and Sharon is a queer woman who left her husband for a woman who then died.

LetterKenny: Season 11 – December 26

This comedy revolves around a small rural Canadian community and two siblings who run a small farm and produce stand. In 2019, Valerie called it “surprisingly queer.”

Peacock’s Queer Content for December 2022

Survivor’s Remorse: Seasons 1-4 – December 1

This critically acclaimed Starz dramedy is about the family of Cam Calloway, an NBA basketball player who’s just made the big time and moved his family from Boston’s Dorchester neighborhood to Atlanta. Erica Ash is Mary Charles “M-Chuck” Calloway, Cam’s lesbian half-sister, who Carmen wrote was “one of TV’s most important lesbian characters” and truly I cannot recommend this show enough, I loved it with my whole heart.

Bros (2022) – December 2

This major studio gay rom-com that got so much press about people not going to see it that nobody ended up going to see it is focused on the love story between two white cis gay men, but has “a queer world that is predominantly trans and POC — even if the white cis gay men are the only ones with real characters.” Drew has described it as “not revolutionary, but hilarious.”

The Real Housewives of Miami: Season 5 Premiere – December 8

The first four episodes of the fifth season will drop on December 8, bringing with it openly bisexual model-turned-farmhand Julia Lemigova, who is married to transphobic tennis star Martina Navritalova. According to Kayla, “Her main storylines are having goats, saying goodbye to her teen daughters who are moving away, and possibly being in love with and/or romantically loved by her best friend Adriana de Moura.”

Paramount+ Bisexual Content in December 202

Sampled: Season One Premiere – December 13

This travel documentary series “presents a visceral exploration of international cities from the viewpoint of traveling musicians on world tours, exploring Berlin, Monterrey, Amsterdam, London, Medellin and Tokyo.” The Tokyo episode features bisexual singer/songwriter Arlo Parks.

Before you go! It costs money to make indie queer media, and frankly, we need more members to survive 2023As thanks for LITERALLY keeping us alive, A+ members get access to bonus content, extra Saturday puzzles, and more! Will you join? Cancel anytime.

1) Running, Cycling & Fitness (32%)
2) Home & Renovation (30%)
3) TV film & Cinema (26%)
4) Cars & Motoring (26%)
5) Travel & Regional (25%)

Cooking is the new indoor entertainment

The number of bookmarked pages in magazines has increased by 46% during the year, and most of these are cooking recipes. By taking a closer look at the pages with most bookmarks it seems that there is an urge for comfort food such as one-pots and pans. Some examples of the most bookmarked recipes:

  • In the UK: One-pot prawn & lentil curry
  • In Germany: Potato Farmer Pan
  • In Australia: One-pan greek lemon chicken & rice

- Maybe the pandemic has caused us to crave hearty and cosy meals that can be enjoyed by the whole family. Readers have definitely found comfort in these recipes and cooking has strengthened its position as the number one indoor entertainment, says Chris Couchman, Head of Content at Readly.

Readly's content portfolio has continued to grow rapidly over the last few years reaching 6,300 magazine titles during 2021, with a catalogue totalling around 210,000 magazine issues from 11 markets. Readership of foreign titles represent a fifth of all read issues where US magazine Rolling Stone's issue with Dua Lipa got the biggest global audience.

UK magazine snapshot

  • British readers have read 21 million issues

Readly: 2021 Reading trends revealed - consumers are turning their homes into havens to relax and enjoy life

STOCKHOLM, Dec. 6, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The European category leader within digital magazine subscriptions, has compiled a report detailing the top magazine reading trends of 2021. It demonstrates the continued impact the pandemic is having on consumers and their interests. The latest insights show that 210,000 digital issues were read 120 million times on the platform with spiked readership in categories such as Home & Renovation and TV, Film & Cinema. During 2021 the number of bookmarked pages increased by 46% and the majority of these pages were recipes.

The increased focus on stay-at-home activities started in 2020 because of the pandemic and has continued during 2021. But there is also a parallel trend emerging - an increased interest for wellness and outdoor activities.

- Although people are turning their homes into places where they can recharge, enjoy food and escape reality, it is actually the readership of the Running, Cycling & Fitness magazines that increased the most. Maybe it is the ultimate mix of activities that appeal to the crowd. After all, there is no better feeling than to eat a bowl of pasta in front of your favorite series after you have had a proper workout, says Chris Couchman, Head of Content at Readly.

Categories where reading has increased the most during 2021 across all markets:

1) Running, Cycling & Fitness (32%)
2) Home & Renovation (30%)
3) TV film & Cinema (26%)
4) Cars & Motoring (26%)

Niece, Buscalan locals react to Apo Whang-Od magazine cover

Kathleen A. Llemit - Philstar.com
Centenarian and mambabatok (hand-tapped tattoo artist) Apo Whang-Od is on the cover of the April issue of Vogue Philippines.
Vogue Philippines

MANILA, Philippines — The villagers and grandniece of Apo Whang-Od said they are happy with her cover and feature on the April issue of Vogue Philippines.

Philstar.com reached out to Grace Palicas and Gilbert Oggay, grandniece and nephew of Apo Whang-Od, respectively, to know about their thoughts on the beauty issue of the said magazine.

"Natutuwa 'yung mga locals," said Oggay.

Following in the footsteps of her aunt as a tattoo artist, Grace shared that the magazine had contacted the National Commission on Indigenous Peoples, which accompanied them to Whang-Od's village in Buscalan, Kalinga.

"It's also good because it's for Woman's Day so we are happy that Apo is in the cover po," said Grace.

Apo Whang-Od, born Maria Oggay, is 106 years old. She is known as one of the last remaining mambabatoks (hand-tapped tattoo artist) of her generation. Today, Apo Whang-Od has about 90 apprentices.

"Apo Maria 'Whang-Od' Oggay symbolizes the strength and beauty of the Filipino spirit," the magazine wrote on its social media post. "Heralded as the last mambabatok of her generation, she has imprinted the symbols of the Kalinga tribe—signifying strength, bravery, and beauty—on the skin of thousands of people who have made the pilgrimage to Buscalan."

Readly: 2021 Reading trends revealed - consumers are turning their homes into havens to relax and enjoy life

STOCKHOLM, Dec. 6, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The European category leader within digital magazine subscriptions, has compiled a report detailing the top magazine reading trends of 2021. It demonstrates the continued impact the pandemic is having on consumers and their interests. The latest insights show that 210,000 digital issues were read 120 million times on the platform with spiked readership in categories such as Home & Renovation and TV, Film & Cinema. During 2021 the number of bookmarked pages increased by 46% and the majority of these pages were recipes.

The increased focus on stay-at-home activities started in 2020 because of the pandemic and has continued during 2021. But there is also a parallel trend emerging - an increased interest for wellness and outdoor activities.

- Although people are turning their homes into places where they can recharge, enjoy food and escape reality, it is actually the readership of the Running, Cycling & Fitness magazines that increased the most. Maybe it is the ultimate mix of activities that appeal to the crowd. After all, there is no better feeling than to eat a bowl of pasta in front of your favorite series after you have had a proper workout, says Chris Couchman, Head of Content at Readly.

Categories where reading has increased the most during 2021 across all markets:

1) Running, Cycling & Fitness (32%)
2) Home & Renovation (30%)
3) TV film & Cinema (26%)
4) Cars & Motoring (26%)
5) Travel & Regional (25%)

Cooking is the new indoor entertainment

The number of bookmarked pages in magazines has increased by 46% during the year, and most of these are cooking recipes. By taking a closer look at the pages with most bookmarks it seems that there is an urge for comfort food such as one-pots and pans. Some examples of the most bookmarked recipes:

  • In the UK: One-pot prawn & lentil curry
  • In Germany: Potato Farmer Pan
  • In Australia: One-pan greek lemon chicken & rice

- Maybe the pandemic has caused us to crave hearty and cosy meals that can be enjoyed by the whole family. Readers have definitely found comfort in these recipes and cooking has strengthened its position as the number one indoor entertainment, says Chris Couchman, Head of Content at Readly.

Readly's content portfolio has continued to grow rapidly over the last few years reaching 6,300 magazine titles during 2021, with a catalogue totalling around 210,000 magazine issues from 11 markets. Readership of foreign titles represent a fifth of all read issues where US magazine Rolling Stone's issue with Dua Lipa got the biggest global audience.

UK magazine snapshot

  • British readers have read 21 million issues
  • 10% of all titles read by UK users are foreign titles
  • 22% of all titles read by UK users are back issues
  • 6 pm on Thursdays is the most popular time to read magazines

Content: Leveraging digital marketing for community engagement and impact

Harnessing the power of digital marketing is an indispensable tool to enhance community engagement and impact. Picture Shutterstock.

This is branded content.

Digital marketing plays a significant role in enhancing community engagement and creating a lasting impact. It transcends traditional boundaries, allowing organisations to reach and engage with their communities in innovative ways.

Through targeted strategies and creative approaches, digital marketing opens a myriad of opportunities for fostering connections, driving social change, and building a more involved and informed community.

Digital marketing in the community context

Digital marketing aims to build sustainable relationships and engage in meaningful dialogues with the community. It's deeply rooted in creating a two-way communication channel, where not only is information disseminated, but feedback and insights from the community are actively sought and valued.

Utilising platforms like social media, interactive forums, and community blogs, organisations can foster a sense of involvement and co-creation, allowing for a more connected and responsive relationship with the community.

Aligning digital marketing efforts with the community's core values and interests is crucial for resonance and relevance. This involves crafting content and messages that reflect the community's concerns, aspirations, and culture. Inclusivity is also key, ensuring that the digital marketing strategy is accessible and engaging for all community segments.

By using storytelling, prioritising inclusivity, and employing data-driven insights to adapt strategies, organisations can effectively bridge the gap between their objectives and the community's expectations, leading to a more harmonious and impactful engagement.

Search engine optimisation

Search engine optimisation (SEO) is an essential tool in amplifying a community's voice, ensuring its message not only reaches but also resonates with the intended audience.

A comprehensive SEO strategy, developed in partnership with a proficient SEO agency, involves keyword implementation and a meticulous understanding of search algorithms, trends, and user behaviour to optimise content in a way that enhances online visibility and engagement.

Such a strategy ensures that the community's message is heard and positioned prominently in the digital landscape, creating a lasting impact and fostering deeper connections with the audience.

Social Media

In the vibrant world of social media, it's all about creating a space where the community feels heard and valued.

By hosting live Q&A sessions, the organisation steps into a real-time interactive space, inviting community members to voice their opinions, concerns, and ideas. This direct engagement is crucial in building trust and rapport.

Additionally, using interactive polls and surveys on these platforms gives the community a sense of participation and ownership. It's a way to gather insights while keeping the audience engaged.

Storytelling on social media also plays a pivotal role. By sharing stories that mirror the community's experiences and values, a deeper emotional connection is formed. This ongoing interaction, through regular posts and active responses to comments, creates a living, breathing digital community space.

Email marketing

Email marketing, when tailored for community engagement, becomes a powerful tool for personalised communication.

By segmenting email lists, organisations can tailor their messaging to specific groups, ensuring that each email feels personal and relevant. This segmentation can be based on interests, past engagement, or demographic data.

Regular newsletters can then be used not just as a means of disseminating information but as a tool for storytelling and sharing community achievements and upcoming events, all while maintaining a personal touch.

Integrating feedback mechanisms into these emails, such as surveys or interactive links, invites community members to share their thoughts and opinions, making these communications a two-way street and deepening the sense of community involvement.

Content marketing

Content marketing in a community context is about creating a tapestry of content that informs, educates, and inspires the audience. This means producing a variety of content forms-from in-depth blog posts exploring community issues to videos and podcasts that bring a human touch to stories and discussions.

Each piece of content is crafted to resonate with different segments of the community, making them feel seen and understood. It's about sparking conversations, encouraging critical thinking, and motivating community members to take action.

Embedded within this content are calls to action, which encourage community members to get involved, whether it's through participating in community events, volunteering, or simply spreading the word.

Collaborative efforts and partnerships

In the digital marketing landscape, collaborative efforts and partnerships are about pooling resources, expertise, and networks to achieve a greater impact.

When organisations collaborate with others-be it other non-profits, local businesses, influencers, or community leaders-they tap into new audiences and bring fresh perspectives to their initiatives.

These partnerships can take various forms, from co-hosting events to joint marketing campaigns or content collaborations. Each partnership serves as an opportunity to broaden the organisation's reach and deepen its impact within the community.

Such collaborations often lead to innovative projects that directly benefit the community, creating a ripple effect of positive change. These partnerships not only strengthen the organisation's presence within the community but also foster a sense of unity and collective effort towards common goals.

Data analytics

Data analytics in the realm of community engagement is about turning numbers into narratives. By closely monitoring engagement rates, audience growth, and interaction patterns, organisations can gain a clear understanding of what content performs well and what resonates with the community.

It focuses on interpreting these numbers to understand the community's preferences, interests, and behaviours. This insight allows for a more targeted and effective approach to community engagement, ensuring that efforts are not based on assumptions but on actual data.

The analytics provide a roadmap for continuously refining strategies, ensuring that every campaign, post, or email is as effective as possible in engaging and growing the community.

Takeaway

Digital marketing is an indispensable tool in enhancing community engagement and impact. From harnessing the power of social media to partnering with an SEO agency for better outreach, each strategy plays a critical role in connecting with and mobilising communities.

By leveraging these digital tactics, organisations can create meaningful change and foster a sense of unity and involvement. The key lies in understanding the community's needs, using the right tools, and continuously adapting to the digital landscape.

The ability to create private entries and communities centered around specific interests fostered a strong sense of belonging among users .

These features have been adopted and adapted by subsequent platforms like Tumblr, Medium, Facebook, and Twitter, highlighting LiveJournal’s foundational role in the evolution of online communication .

Despite its early success, LiveJournal’s popularity began to decline after its peak in 2005 .

Several factors contributed to this downturn.

Several factors contributed to this downturn.

The rise of other social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr offered more dynamic, engaging, and broader social networking capabilities, drawing users away from LiveJournal .

These newer platforms provided more advanced tools for interaction, broader audience reach, and real-time updates, which appealed to users seeking more immediate and visually engaging social experiences .

The shift in user preferences toward more visual and instant forms of communication, along with the rise of mobile blogging and visually-oriented platforms, further contributed to LiveJournal’s decline as users gravitated toward sites with more modern interfaces and functionalities .

Technical issues and a lack of innovation also played a role in LiveJournal’s decline.

Technical issues and a lack of innovation also played a role in LiveJournal’s decline.

Users reported technical problems such as downtime and slow performance, which frustrated the community and made the platform less appealing compared to newer, more reliable alternatives .

LiveJournal’s interface became outdated as the internet evolved, and the platform struggled to keep pace with the rapid development of user experience and mobile accessibility seen in its competitors .

Ownership and management changes further impacted LiveJournal’s trajectory.

In 2005, LiveJournal was acquired by Six Apart, and later by SUP Media in 2007, a Russian company .

These changes led to concerns about user privacy, data management, and, particularly among its English-speaking user base, censorship .

The introduction of monetization strategies and new policies alienated some of its core users, accelerating the shift away from the platform .

MANILA, Philippines — The villagers and grandniece of Apo Whang-Od said they are happy with her cover and feature on the April issue of Vogue Philippines.

Philstar.com reached out to Grace Palicas and Gilbert Oggay, grandniece and nephew of Apo Whang-Od, respectively, to know about their thoughts on the beauty issue of the said magazine.

"Natutuwa 'yung mga locals," said Oggay.

Following in the footsteps of her aunt as a tattoo artist, Grace shared that the magazine had contacted the National Commission on Indigenous Peoples, which accompanied them to Whang-Od's village in Buscalan, Kalinga.

"It's also good because it's for Woman's Day so we are happy that Apo is in the cover po," said Grace.

Apo Whang-Od, born Maria Oggay, is 106 years old. She is known as one of the last remaining mambabatoks (hand-tapped tattoo artist) of her generation. Today, Apo Whang-Od has about 90 apprentices.

"Apo Maria 'Whang-Od' Oggay symbolizes the strength and beauty of the Filipino spirit," the magazine wrote on its social media post. "Heralded as the last mambabatok of her generation, she has imprinted the symbols of the Kalinga tribe—signifying strength, bravery, and beauty—on the skin of thousands of people who have made the pilgrimage to Buscalan."
