Just when I was making myself at home...

LiveJournal ... has cut about 20 of 28 employees — and offered them no severance (spotted via nicnac). As veterans of the last dotcom crash know, websites have a nasty habit of disappearing overnight, leaving a deafening silence in the void.

Ladies and gentlemen, I'd highly suggest backing up all entries, and figuring out an alternative solution for blogging, just in case. Which is a huge shame, because the friends-feature on LJ is something I just have not found anywhere else. Any suggestions for backups or alternatives?

Anyway, in case the Nostromo signs off, I'm also to be found on almostwitty.com

UPDATE: Backup options available from LJ, LJBook and LJArchive

UPDATE 2: The end is not yet, in fact, nigh. at least not yet.

The similar platforms running on the same code (greatestjournal, deadjournal, etc) may fade away too and for the same reason. Hell, the whole net will eventually. Grumble. Best bet for blogging IMO is Wordpress hosted on your own domain. It sure doesn't have the friends aspect though :(
