heidiYou may have already seen this, but from Valleywag at Gawker:
CNET sounds slightly less panicky. But better to be safe than sorry! I am not going anywhere, but I am in various other places in case LJ does go somewhere.
I am backed up on InsaneJournal at 8heidi8 and I have an account that I really should move everything over to on JournalFen at heidi - yes, this means that I am not 'heidi8' on other blog-sites.
I'm also on facebook if you know my real name, and on Twitter at travelingheidi.
Why do I feel like the "sort your flist by date" thing last month was the last hurrah of something wonderful from LJ?
I have been here for seven years, as of this month. I don't have a seven year itch. I don't want LJ to go away. I can't recreate this community, not anywhere else.
About six weeks ago when there was a hacking concern, I asked about ways to back up my LJ, and got some recommendations here. I ended up using both LJArchive and LJBook, but I haven't gone through and re-uploaded my LJ posts anywhere else. For me, the comments and polls are as important as the content of my own posts, though, and that's not even including all the icons and photos I've stored here on LJ over the last seven years.
There has to be a way to at least keep LJ online as a hosting location because right now, I am terrified that we are going to lose that.
And that would be awful.
[LiveJournal's] product managers and engineers were laid off, leaving only a handful of finance and operations workers — which speaks to a website to be left on life support. Matt Berardo, a Yahoo executive hired on last summer, is also believed to be gone.
