LJ is down (for now)

I don't use LJ much at all.. but it seems everyone is talking about the fact that they are down again (this time because of a power outage) and that sixapart does not seem to be placing a high priority on getting them back up.. Isn't it about time someone step up and replace them. Google has a great base for it with blogger but is missing allot of features.. easy to set up community's, friends page, etc..

So where is it google? or anyone else.. you know you can do it..
