LiveJournal Buyout Rumor
Aaron B. Russell writes "Om Malik reports that Six Apart are looking to buy blogging community LiveJournal.com. Rumour? I hope so. I seriously hope so. Neither Six Apart nor Danga Interactive (the company behind LiveJournal) have commented on the situation yet. What impact will this have for the users and volunteers over at LiveJournal? Chris Schmidt, a volunteer at LiveJournal, hypothesizes here(1) and here(2) ." Sources close to LiveJournal creator Brad Fitzpatrick say this is just a rumor, and that LJ is not being sold. Update: 01/06 by J : Our sources were way wrong.
I've actually had that happen. An ex-roommate wound up making some commentary about the manner in which we parted ways, and all his friends commented about how bad I must've been and how sorry they were that he had to live with me. Only thing is that while I admit I was not the best roommate, neither was he and wound up doing much the same as I did. That just never came out as valid since once we parted ways, he managed to be immaculate about his affairs.
Took a few years just to sort out the animosity between us to be on speaking terms all because of that incident.
It wasn't supposed to be insightful, just my opinion. I don't enjoy reading them, I don't like them
