LiveJournal provides the latest public posts to LJ in a format that isn't a huge burden on the LJ servers. You can view it in HTML form, and it's also available as a machine-readable RSS 2.0 feed.
What can be done with this data?
- Follow the current mood of LiveJournal—appears to be down now. Anyone wanna ping the author?
- Conduct a census—I think their numbers are way off, considering that we have a million weblogs on LiveJournal itself, and I'm certain there are more than a thousand Russian weblogs.
- Create interesting views of thousands of voices in unison. I saw a great art exhibition that displayed snippets of IRC conversations along a huge wall, clustering the snippets by shared phrases.
I've written some small programs that let me watch the world; you can even get it into your screensaver. I used to run this while working at LiveJournal to keep myself psyched about my work—all these millions of people communicating right now!
