Good luck to Brad at Google.

Learned from copperbadge's LJ:

Brad Fitzpatrick, the founder of LJ, is leaving for Google.

Good move, Brad. Best of luck to you.

I'd say we'll miss you but that's been true for two years. And really true the last couple months. Do you think Six Apart will stop digging once they hit China?

Apparently its just not going to be happening any time soon. They're looking for a buyer and they don't often put out an ISO when a company is up for sale.

I do believe the 100 friends limit is only for free accounts. Besides I figure that's a nice round number. Mind you with the cheapness of a permanent account on IJ I'm tempted to go that way and get the full upgrade. Only time will tell.

I've never paid for LJ, although occasionally I've been gifted LJ time by generous people (I'd rather they give to a foodbank). I've had this free account for four years and have never been tempted by extra icons et al.

I have stories I'm trying to get out there so I need to reach as many people as possible. InsaneJournal with its f-list limit is not an option as far as I'm concerned, and I have a feeling that other people with large, greedily collected flists ;) (cesperanza, seperis, astolat, thefourthvine, etc.) will feel the same.

I've always been gifted my LJ time. Don't really care for icons etc. either.

Actually I do believe that most if not all of those folks are over on IJ as well as GJ. They know folks will spread the word on fic being posted just as it happens now. *g*

My fic (fortunately) is all housed on my website. So LJ could vanish from the face of the earth tomorrow and the loss would only be mine. :)
