Whinge whinge whinge whinge

The Manage Profile Page now has a series of ticky boxes to pick interests. Yuk. And brad doesn't like it either*.

Aren't those interests overused already without encouraging people to add them? It's practically impossible to search by them because so many users have I've unclicked 'computers', changed 'writing' to 'writing fiction' and 'history' to 'European history', but what about 'books' and 'reading'?

I've made a tag called 'livejournal whinging', because I seem to be doing that a lot lately. I love LJ, and I definitely don't complain about everything; I like the nav strip and the notification system is great. It's just all this ad stuff I don't like. I wouldn't mind seeing a 'this feature is sponsered by' on the page for the SMS, when it arrives, and I'm permanent, so I'm not affected by plus people's ads, but the sponsored comm left a bad taste in my mouth.

On the bright side, the 404 page is fun. Make sure to refresh it a few times! My favourite is the 'All your base are belong to Frank' one.

I like the haiku one. ;)

I am slightly cynically wondering whether 'science of sleep' is going to make its way into the suggested interests along with emo and snowboarding.

My reaction to the interests things was to delete all of mine and replace them with "stuff"

Thanks for the link to the 404 page - I'd never seen those before!

What I want now is a link to the Message Centre from the navigation strip, which I like. Or some kind of integration of the nav strip with the new horizontal bar thingy you see everywhere else.
