sub_dividedLivejournal's sale to internet start-up company SUP (pronounced "soup") based in Russia makes last summer's fracas over journal deletion look like hot air. I like ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
pleonastic's post on this so I am just going to link it: check the Wired article at the end for a (possibly greatly exaggerated?) cautionary take on SUP. It looks like the same people will be running the US-based section of livejournal as were running it under SixApart, so unless the Great Fan Migration finally happens everything should be business as usual over here; but I would not want to be a livejournal user in Russia right now.
Comments disabled as I don't have much else to contribute to the discussion.
EDIT: More on SUP.
