Om Malik has learned that Six Apart, the company behind Movable Type and Typepad, is buying the Live Journal blogging service. This move would catapult Six Apart into one of the major players with 6.5 million users. Live Journal is community based, and mostly used by the young adolescent crowd. This means that Six Apart now offers three blogging services to attract a very diverse crowd. A diversity that Blogger and MSN Spaces lack, as they have to appeal to a very large audience.
