Looks like the LJ design team was laid off but that doesn't mean that LJ is going away.

I think people are seeing the writing on the wall that it may be going away. Nothing is set in stone at this point but it sounds like it is possible.

Personally I think I like LJ best because there isn't all the other waste of time crap on it. You can see what is up with your friends, comment and be done with it. No applications and junk to suck you in and waste your time.

I hope it stays..

reports of LJ's troubles seem to have been fairly exaggerated. the stuff I initially saw said something about laying off 25 out of 33 permanent staffers or something, but the actual story on cnet indicated it was more like 18 out of 33 and that it wasn't "all of the technical stuff" that the initial stuff I saw was asserting.

I *always* think that backing up any even remotely interesting personal data is highly advisable, but I don't think we need to worry about LJ disappearing in the dead of night any time soon.

I hope not, I like reading what people post on here....much more interesting them a million personality things about what did they last eat or who their last text was from :)

Yeah, I heard rumors of this and backed up my LJ. I hope it's not true. Even if LJ turns into an "everyone has to pay service," I think I'd do it because I really like the format for blogging. :(
