What is this death of LJ thing people are panicking about? Anyone clue me in?

Personally I think people are overreacting. Apparently LJ fired a number of their top staff (various reports put the number between 7 and 13) and this has sparked rumours that LJ is on it's way out.

Word from the staff is 13. It was the wildly inaccurate "20 out of 28 staff fired" thing that really sparked the panic, I don't see it dying yet.

I'm not sure overreacting is quite the right word; it's very much a reminder that 'backup' isn't just a word, though :)

[chrisvenus]

Yeah. I don't expect it to die any time soon but that didn't stop me thinking I should back stuff up. :)

Basically a bunch of people were fired, that reminds us that LJ is a money making concern that doesn't do this for the love of our angst ridden ZG fiction. And many internet based money making concerns are starting to fall to pieces as fewer companies have budget for online advertising. So our memories may not be as secure as we naturally assume, so we panic, swamp the servers, make them fall over, make advertisers withdraw revenue and then kill the golden goose. God, imagine trying to post this on Facebook...
