La preponderància de LiveJournal sobre blocs independents o blocs que no tenien connexions d'amistat com una de les seves funcions bàsiques ha estat una característica important comparada amb les blocosferes d'altres països.
The preference of LiveJournal over stand-alone blogs or blogs that didn't have friend connections as one of their core functions has been an important distinguishing feature as compared to other countries' blogospheres.
