SUP Fabrik

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

SUP (Russian: СУП, which means 'soup') is an international online media company, founded in Moscow during the summer of 2006 by Andrew Paulson.

SUP’s first major announcement was a licensing agreement with Six Apart that gave SUP rights to use the LiveJournal brand, as well as operate portions of the LiveJournal service for LiveJournal’s Russian users.[1] SUP also operates Championat.ru, one of Russia's top three sports Web sites. +SOL media agency, affiliated with SUP, is the advertisement operator for Russian visitors of Last.fm, some Yahoo! properties, and Times Online.

On December 2, 2007, Six Apart announced they had sold LiveJournal to SUP, who would be funding the online journalling community and hub in its future developments.[2]
