Six Apart Acquires Live Journal

6A buys LJ, according to Om's exclusive.  Simply makes sense.  The leading blogging tool vendor gets a massive user base (6.5 million users combined total -- with 1.4% of 5.6M LJ's generating $25/yr); and a team with experience serving them at scale with richer community features.

Will be fascinating to see if this brings Blogspace and Journalspace together.

Follow along with this Technorati Keyword Watchlist.

Update: It's official, 6A/LJ Press Release, Mena's Mood:, Brad's Mood:, Six Apart Interview and Tom Peters apparently comment spammed this post.
