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."

    trackback is redundant. The same thing can be done using already existing systems, like, say, posting a comment on the blog website itself, or checking referrer logs.

    replacing trackback and pingback in more detail using existing protocols is left as an exercise to the reader.

    I just visited and checked the links from my handy dandy linux browser (no malware, adware etc) and no banner ads either.
