Big news... Six Apart and LiveJournal!

I have to hand it to the People at LiveJournal, they have a really good PR person on staff. This sounds so casual and intimately friendly- it made me involuntarily smile !
Why is Six Apart buying LiveJournal?
Lots of reasons:

• Our companies are more alike than different.
• We both use Perl.
• Together we form super robot that's stronger than the sum of its parts.
• Super robots can fight super companies.
• They respect us, we respect them.
• We have a number of features they don't.
• We have experience with making "inward-facing" community sites, whereas their sites/products tend to be "outward-facing". They want some of that inward-facing action.
• Because we're awesome.

I suppose they spent much time on this, and I hope they do well as super robot.
