Because we consider user involvement so important for <a href="https://www.mypages.com">MyPages</a>, I&rsquo;m very interested in hearing what happens with any community-based website. Whether the community is online, as with LiveJournal, or more local like <a href="https://www.craigslist.org">Craigslist</a>.</p> <p>No outsider is going to know the terms of a deal between two private companies unless something goes very wrong or very right. Either somebody sues or they&rsquo;re written up in Fortune or Forbes. But it seems like a good time to be running a community site.</p>
