SixApart Sells LiveJournal to Russian Media Company

Posted by Zonk on Sunday December 2, 2007 @04:53PM from the new-boss-same-as-old-boss dept.

molrak writes "SixApart tonight announced the sale of journal/blogging service Livejournal to Russia-based SUP. Original LJ founder Brad Fitzpatrick has chimed in on the situation: 'This is pretty cool because - They're ridiculously excited about LiveJournal, and have been for awhile (they previous purchased advertising rights in Russia, but ended up doing a bunch of Russia-specific LJ development as well). They want to throw a lot of resources at LiveJournal in terms of product development and engineers. "LiveJournal.com, Inc." now stands alone again, focusing on nothing but LJ. Sounds like I'll have more LJ influence (via new role as advisory board member) than I've had recently.'"

OMFG!!! ME TOO!!! I ate an apple today too! What kind of apple did you eat? Did you eat right around the middle, then the top and bottom? That's how I usually eat apples. Once, 'tho, I didn't, but I can't talk about that now.
