Asshattery, thy name is LiveJournal.
Jan. 6th, 2009 01:03 pmLJers! Don't worry, the news of our demise is premature.Yes, there were layoffs, but that does not affect your LJ!http://tinyurl.com/9rzk5y
Well, so glad you could take the time to type an astouding 140 characters to Twitter instead of, you know, Livejournal. Wouldn't it be more logical to use LiveJournal to tell people to keep calm since that is the service they're paying for and not Twitter? (By the way, the link goes to LiveJournal's Press Release page which, at the time of this posting, contains no information regarding the layoffs.)
Wow, keep racking it up, SUP. You're doing an astounding customer service job. *two thumbs up*
ETA: Finally, a press release:
January 6, 2009
LiveJournal Inc. announced a restructuring today of their U.S. and Russian operations to more effectively manage costs in light of the global economic downturn.
LiveJournal Inc.'s headquarters, technical operations (and servers,) legal, administration, and customer service teams will remain in the United States. LiveJournal's global product development and design will now be coordinated out of its Moscow office. The pooling of resources between the U.S. and Russia will allow the company to build a stronger business model, well positioned to guarantee the long-term success of LiveJournal.
As a result of these changes, Matthew Berardo, VP and General Manager of LiveJournal Inc., will be leaving the company along with other valued colleagues. Mr. Berardo played the leading role in consolidating product and design efforts to enable the business to more effectively streamline costs during his tenure. LiveJournal Inc. will now be led jointly by Stephanie Gravelle, currently LiveJournal Inc.'s director of finance and administration, and Sergei Komarov, currently CTO of SUP (LiveJournal Inc.'s holding company).
