Om Malik reports that Six Apart is about to acquire Live Journal.
Om says that the deal "gives the company a very fighting chance against Google’s Blogger and Microsoft’s MSN Spaces."

Update: SiliconBeat posts some good background on the companies. Danah Boyd thinks there may be a culture mismatch.
Update: It's official. Xeni Jardin posts the news and links out to announcements from LiveJournal and SixApart.
Sixapart has the best blogging software, but do they really want to fight against free services funded by large companies like Microsoft?
