Migrants to IJ, 2007

mark kraft on the sale of lj to sup

I recommend everyone read My thoughts on the sale -- again -- of LiveJournal by Insomnia, who used to be the "all things business" manager of LiveJournal back in the day (2000-2002) and has a lot of insight regarding the recent sale of LJ to the Russian company SUP. There is more info in the comments as well, regarding LJ's data mining capabilities, etc.

my god. No wonder SUP were so keen to get possession of LJ. That's truly frightening stuff.

I would say the architecture of IJ would allow

[Error: Irreparable invalid markup ('<ljuser="squeaky">') in entry. Owner must fix manually. Raw contents below.]

I would say the architecture of IJ would allow <ljuser="squeaky"> to do the same thing. Unless they don't release it in the code.

I'm actually looking for the shot that is the image of the one in your icon. Only the glasses are different.

LOL I can see it. :-D It's funny, when I was in college I was friends with a girl who looked like me so much, my mom "wasn't sure which lump was mine!" one night when she and I crashed out in the living room.
