dragonvpm: LJ slash'n'burn. Nice of our Russian overlords to not mention any of this to us - oh, wait, they didn't leave anyone behind who *could*. . .
ETA: The math in that link is wrong - they cut ~2/3 of just the US tech folks, not 2/3 of the entire US staff, meaning ~12 of 28 jobs were lost not 20 of 28. It's still a pretty bad sign, particularly with nothing coming from LJ itself to confirm or deny any of this to us users. Here's cNet's article.
ETA2: LJ has made a press release that says pretty much nothing (certainly it does nothing to resolve the question of how many were cut). They couldn't even be arsed to send out that bit of palp to users?
