anildash kindly corrects me on Vox having/not having communities in the future: "That being said, I'm not saying whether Vox will or won't have communities -- as far as I know, we haven't announced either way yet. My guess is we're going to just listen to the feedback people submit and judge by that, same as with everything else."
He also points out a new article on Wired that might be of interest:
Six Apart Leads With Vox. I'm not going to do choice cuts, because most of the article is relevant to our concerns and has a lot of discussion mentioning LiveJournal, so I encourage you to read it all.
beckyzoole's sharp eyes also found another Wired article on the LJ/SUP deal:
Russia Growls at LiveJournal Deal. We have been trying to compose a recap post for some time, but it is difficult because of the language barriers. You can see much of our digging
in the last post made about SUP.
