LiveJournal: 1.5 million active users

LiveJournal is up to 1.3 million active users (updating a journal in the last 30 days). Other blogfarms using LiveJournal's software account for another 180 thousand active users, mostly at GreatestJournal.com (97k), DeadJournal.com (39k), and Blurty.com (36k).

This puts the greater LiveJournal community at 1.5 million active users on 6.3 million registered accounts.

In May 2003, 70 weeks ago, LiveJournal had 485k active users. So 1,338k comes from 1.5% weekly compound growth or 7% monthly growth.

Using Elise Bauer's estimate of LiveJournal's 23% GoogleShare, this would put the number of Google-visible blogs at 6.6 million active users (very rough). I'll qualify this number soon.
