Six Apart is selling its LiveJournal blogging platform to Russian media company SUP
The nearly three-year marriage is dissolving with Six Apart’s sale of LiveJournal to Russia-based SUP a deal expected to be announced Monday. The financial terms aren’t being disclosed.
Huh. Interesting.
Indeed.
Don’t worry; from what I hear, the only change will be renaming “Friends Page” to “Comrades.”
It is all about the “bling.”
Yeah, I can’t say I’m really enthused about the prospect of our accounts being sold to Russia. The only worse option would have been China.

My first thought was, “At least it’s not Yahoo.”
I may quit keeping an online journal entirely.
