LiveJournal Buyout Confirmed

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Wednesday January 5, 2005 @07:10PM from the new-beginnings dept.

Kingfox writes "Brad Fitzpatrick, creator of LiveJournal, finally confirms the story that was posted to Slashdot yesterday. Six Apart has purchased Danga. This means that they're moving to San Francisco, LiveJournal users are finally getting the trackback feature, but the project will stay open source, and little else will change for the end user."
