For those of you who still post on LJ, seems they've stared to do layoffs. Like..half their US staff.

What does that mean? Who knows. But most people have been backing up their blogs, just out of a sense of caution.

Word is, the Valleywag article is . . . exaggerated. More info here, such as exists as yet.

Even so, time to back up stuff! And thank the Net gods for InsaneJournal.

*nods* I've been following the stuff on Fandom Lounge. But still, not good times.

So glad I'm here and not there. Geesh!

We'll see what happens, I guess. There will be some side effects, besides the mass journal backups, I think.

Things could be worse, Did you hear what happened to journalSpace?

*nods* Pissed off ex-employees, not good.

omg - thanks for the heads up! Posted an alert over on LJ, because it's not like we'd be getting anything useful from the actual news community. @_@ (scurries back to work)

I'm going to let my one roommate know when she gets home. Even if nothing happens, it'll let her mention it to others so they can have up to date backups.

Whew. Thanks for the heads up. I have maybe half of my entries from LJ backed on here on IJ. Seems that I now have motivation to move the other half as well as a precaution.

Well, at least they didn't do what Greatest Journal did...if you had stuff on there, I hope you backed it up elsewhere.
