Got word of this from
mortari
Six Apart is buying Livejournal. I got this from their FAQ:
Q. What is going to happen to LiveJournal and its current users?
A. We acquired LiveJournal because we like LiveJournal just the way it is -- it's an awesome product. We will invest in the further development of LiveJournal and help it expand its reach around the globe but our plans do not include removing the free level, plastering the sites with ads, owning user content, etc... We think the LiveJournal community is unique and vibrant. We welcome LiveJournal users to the Six Apart family, and promise to keep the LiveJournal culture and quality which has earned their devotion.
This sounds like good news. However, the little I've heard about this company wasn't very good, and I really want LJ to remain in good hands.
