Six Apart buys LJ
Big News in the blogging world. SixApart makers of MovableType and TypePad announced that they have purchased the popular blogging community and service LiveJournal!
LJ as it is known to its users is a blogging community which is very popular with the 25 and under college crowd as well as those bloggers who are less technical in their use of blogs.
Six Apart makes the ubiquitous blogging tool Movable Type (MT to us veterans) that is used to administrate self run sites such as ours.
Check out the interesting and candid explanation of this change on the LJ site.
