Excuse me while I faint dead away on the damn floor.  Six Apart has sold LJ to a Russian Company. *gggggggg*
ETA: Brad is back!
ETA: I’m providing a link to Wired’s article on LJ transitioning to SUP. Quite frankly, I’m feeling uncomfortable about this. I wonder how much of our database will be transferred to Russia’s servers despite the fact SUP will set up a company in California. I’m worried about the social politics that is vastly different from America and how this ideology will affect us here on LJ. What about privacy, the financial transactions of citizens outside of Russia, and our ability to maintain free speech.  Maybe I’m overly worried. Will have to chew on this one real good and see what will follow in the coming days.
