LJ registration

[Rachel Singer Gordon]

Because cahner's business info (who publish LJ etc.) have made all
their sites subscription-only (and a lot more commercial -- my guess
would be to have concrete numbers to give advertisers). If you go to
Jessamyn's excellent blog at http://www.librarian.net/ , she has some
fake user login information for LJ (and the NYT) on the left-hand
side that you can use to get in and read the articles without the
registration hassle.
