hrjWhat the LJ statistics page says on the unique LJ views stat is: "This figure shows all viewers who were logged in to LiveJournal when they viewed your journal or your entries via their own Friends pages. Here, unique is defined by the visitor’s LiveJournal username." That's as much as I know about it.
To answer other concerns: No, I am absolutely not considering moving my substantive blogging to facebook. I have very deliberately kept my facebook wall private to friends-only (and I have some rather tight criteria for who I friend on facebook) which would not be compatible with doing public blogging there. (I do post links to my LJ regularly on both my facebook wall and my public author page because I know there are people over there who don't have LJ accounts.) And as several people pointed out, it' absurd to even consider doing substantive blogging on Twitter.
What I am thinking about doing is setting up a blog on my alpennia.com website (which is rather content-poor currently) to help drive traffic there, particularly since so much of my blogging is writing-related these days. It would definitely have to be using an interface that allowed easy commenting and no "must have this particular social media account to comment." Bonus for easy mirroring (or at least breadcrumb-trail-leaving) on LJ and Dreamwidth. (Did you know I have a Dreamwidth account? Of course not, because I never use it because it's too much work to dual-post.) The main reason for moving would be to integrate my writing website with my blogging as a "branding" thing.
Nothing will happen in the immediate future. Just considering options and looking at up and down sides.
