Six Apart to buy Livejournal?

May be the year starts off with something of a blog consolidation? There are many companies that enter the blog market - Microsoft's Spaces was one of the last, but others, such as Yahoo or so might follow - why not? It is one of the fastest growing segments in the market, competition is hot and everybody talks about it.

Six Apart runs Movable Type, and they have teamed up with Mediatemple already - a sign that they are on the move.

The question is, of course, what happens to the different audiences. Movable Type costs money - if you host the service, while Lifejournal is free.

Well, the year starts exciting, at least in the blogger sphere.
