I'm hoping Yahoo buys then spins off a unified product with Flicr, Tumblr and LJ, combining the best aspects of all them all.

I can go for that dream. However, after establishing itself and Flicker, I don't think they have really done anything very smart and successful, but merely trying to hold on to what success they had, trying to keep from falling into oblivion, where LJ seems to have already fallen.

Presisely. This is something fairly easy they can do with products they (more or less) own, yet don't seem to have figured out.

LJ exists in a fairly unique niche... not quite blog, not quite social network. It's by nature conversation-based and longform... something that FB and G+ do not have (and Twitter... ugh.)
