Most of all, google cannot find information in my blog (it is in russion and it is Lifejournal one) for a long time while yandex still can (Yandex Blogs).

Google search is quite forgetful. After certain amount of time you just cannot find something you need.

Well, for Yandex, livejournal is as important as .gov domains for google. Livejournal.com is very important for Russians on the internet and completely irrelevant for everyone else. It's where american teenage goths write diaries about fat issues for us Yankees. In Russia, a lot of important people blog there, with thousands of readers and followers.

I often encounter links to LJ here, at HN. One-two a week.

So maybe LJ isn't all that teenage goth for hackers.
