update on the state of the lj

[rmd]

lj has a twitter feed!

"LJers! Don't worry, the news of our demise is premature.Yes, there were layoffs, but that does not affect your LJ!" and then a link to a press release

still probably a good idea to back up your journal occasionally, tho, :-)

Yes, there were layoffs, but that does not affect your LJ!

I'm sure the folks who got axed just loved reading that!

i'm sure. i can picture it now... "CRAP, I HAVE BEEN LAID OFF. MUST LOOK AT DICE AND MONSTER ... what's this? my phone buzzed! i have a tweet!" *reads* "WELL AT LEAST MY JOURNAL'S OKAY! OH THANK GOD. THAT'LL PAY THE RENT. OH WAIT IT WON'T."

since the parent company is russian, i'd have expected them to at least given folks a bottle of vodka for a severance package.

I was thinking more along the lines of "Thanks, LJ, for telling the world how completely expendable you think I am!"
