An official update on the LJ layoffs -- http://news.cnet.com/8301-13577_3-10132684-36.html
"A statement from the company came after a rumor on gossip blog Gawker suggested that a shocking number of LiveJournal employees--20 out of 28--had been cut. LiveJournal clarified that it was "about a dozen" cuts, amounting to about a fifth of the company."
Considering the general state of the economy, I'd say LJ is right in line with everyone else. Better to re-up your paid account rather than flee and help sink it for certain....
