LJ no more??
According to Boing Boing, there are rumors that Six Apart, the creators of Movabletype, have bought Livejournal. This is huge news if it's true, and it bothers me. Don't get me wrong. I'm loyal to Six Apart, and MT is a great product, but LJ is a great community too. If the rumors are true, I'm not sure the changes would be positive. Raising the prices isn't going to be good if it's considered, though I'm sure many would pay.
I'm just not sure. I like that SA is growing, but mergers in general are usually bad news. Here's hoping it's not if the rumors are true.
update
Movableblog has the latest links to reactions and news about SA buying LJ. There also seems to be more of a confirmation that there has been a deal to buy Livejournal.
