LiveJournal Buyout Confirmed

Posted by ryuzaki0 on 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."

      No no, it should go 'In Soviet Russia, LiveJournal writes about you!', indicating that everything you put there is reported to the government.

    You mean that girl that used to be _april_ or something like that? She's i_like_sharks now, and she has a bunch of damn nice stuff up on show_your_boobs, though you have to go back a few weeks to see it.

    She has, however, applied to be a Suicide Girl. This means that we will never, ever see her again, and a month from now she'll be crying her little eyes out in the sgirls community about how terrible they all were to her.

    Shit, girl, give it up for free and people'll be as nice as you want 'em to.

    Not to mention that everyone on show_your_boobs tossed her a few bucks to get a new camera because she didn't have a working one, and she hasn't posted since.

    Damn, I wish this sort of thing were a one-time occurence.
