    Default Economic Downturns + Internet =????

    === layoffs for a lot of LJ employees.

    Do you think they're gonna go under?

    I'll be quite annoyed if they do.

    As for if there's any risk of them going under, I don't know.

    I won't lie, I think I might die if LJ went under ever. I just couldn't cope. xD

    In any case, I really REALLY doubt it. LJ makes so much money, because it's genuinely great.

    I hope not. I'd hate to have to bitch about my life on msn or in EoEo. At least on LJ nobody has to read or care about it

    Once I had a livejournal and then I realized how stupid it was. Then I went back to my livejournal later and lol'd hard at what I used to write and then promptly deleted it all. Then I made like three new entries over a week, and then I stopped using it again.

    So, I don't care ;o All livejournal ever does really is make a bunch of highschool kids bitch at eachother over the internet because they don't have the balls to say anything to eachother in (*gasp*) RL.

    Pfft, I don't care. If it goes down, I'll just make another blog elsewhere.

    Touche~ But I don't never used it for that really.

    Personally I think facebook is more encompassing and more interesting~

    Oh wow. I know that's how I keep up with a good chunk of my last fandom. It'd suck majorly since we'd all scatter to different blog options.

    I didn't think the recession thingy was affecting the internets much. It's mostly high-street stores and people with tons of debts. So perhaps there's some other story to it other than the economy...

    Well, I suppose all the emos will just find another one
