Six Apart buys LiveJournal, the discussion seems centred on the merits (or otherwise) of a business acquiring a community and what implications this will have for the community in question. Shelley Powers had this to say and there is a good discussion in progress at Danah’s site.

Q. Why did Six Apart acquire LiveJournal?
A. We think LiveJournal is a great community and a great company founded and run by a really talented team that is just as fanatical about blogging and online communication as we are. They have done an amazing job growing and supporting their online community and we think there is a lot we can learn from each other.
