Old meme.

Dated Feb 19? How old can it be?

Especially since I submitted this post a couple hours after the article was posted on CNN.com (it has just been approved now)

I think "old meme" should be my new universal reply.

i think they meant: there have been a million articles about this already. i don't see why this one is special.

Command-click to open in a new table, command-shift-click to open in a new table behind the current one.

I find the apparent inaccuracy of the LiveJournal deal amusing. SixApart did not orchestrate a "takeover" as far as we know. They made an offer and Brad agreed to accept it. Now, unless they held a Nintendo Zapper to his head and threatened him to comply, I don't see how there was a "takeover."

I think that when you purchase another business you take it over. Your semiotic addition of the word "orchestrate" that was not part of the article is a product of the demons from with-in your own mind.

As you might know we have used MYSPACE to run a bulletin board titled , No Verichip Inside , to promote communication between members and highlight the latest news pertaining to human micro-chipping and biometrics. In keeping with the current fair and balanced censorship we are seeing on Fox News , the Murdoch owned MySpace , deleted our account [No Verichip Inside Group] today giving us no details as to the motivating reason. We can hazard a guess it was the content pertaining to free will and protection of civil liberties and the fact the group was experiencing excellent growth. In reflection , perhaps if our MySpace group was littered with pornographic images and booty shots accompanied with a ( ... )
