I can't believe nobody has posted about this yet! Our very own ron_newman was featured in an article about LiveJournal in Scout Somerville. (The author contacted me as well, but I wasn't able to get back to him in time. Which is fine. I think it's well and good that this was Ron's piece.)


A picture of the print version, which used a different photo:

Scout Somerville no longer mails the magazine out en masse to everyone in the city. Instead, you can now pick a copy up for free at various local businesses and outdoor newsboxes. Here's a map of those locations

These links describe the old Berkeley "Community Memory" system that I cited as an inspiration for DSLJ:

Community Memory - Wikipedia entry

History of Community Memory (Mark Szpakowski's page)

Remembering Community Memory / The Berkeley beginnings of online community (SF Gate)

Resource One / Community Memory, 1972-1973 by Lee Felsenstein, the system's co-creator
