The country's largest news agency, RIA Novosti,
announced the integration of ID systems at rian.ru and livejournal.com. This means that since July 16, the LJ account owner receives automatic authorization on rian.ru and automatic access to all RIAN services, such as news discussion, participation in tournaments, convenient copying of RIA content to his Live Journal blog. Reportedly, integration technologies have been developed and are supported by Sup.

After the launch of LiveJournal users on a very strict earlier website rian.ru began to boil life merrily. How long?
In fact, the association of authorization systems assumes that registered users of the RIA Novosti site are automatically recognized in LiveJournal, but this is even ridiculous to mention, because these audiences are not comparable (the difference is hundreds of times). In fact, we are talking about the fact that the Livejournal community has absorbed another content portal, although the management of RIA Novosti probably sees the situation differently: they found an easy way to quickly increase the audience of their resource, to revive discussions on the site.

Note that such experiments with the Livejournal audience are actively conducted by the Kommersant newspaper. A week ago, authorization of LiveJournal users began working on the website of
the Izvestia newspaper . It is difficult to speak about the favorable results of these experiments. Traditional media has so far been difficult to integrate into the blogosphere, which is quite self-sufficient.
At the same time, the company "Soup" continues to bend its line. She is currently negotiating with RIA Novosti on the creation of a new unique blog resource.
