Brad Greenspan, the former CEO of Intermix Media, the company which launched MySpace, loves to make trouble for News Corp., the media giant he claims bought Intermix and MySpace for a song. Too bad he pays more attention to his ongoing, one-sided feud than his revenge vehicle, LiveUniverse. Greenspan's startup is having trouble with his uptime; a tipster says his LiveUniverse and LiveVideo sites have been down for two days running. That's not the real problem; the real problem is that it took two days for anyone to notice they've been down.

LiveUniverse, the often acquisitive company founded by tetchy former MySpacer Brad Greenspan, is bleeding engineers. That's according to one LiveVideo codemonkey who's begun applying for work at the company's competitors. Why? Because executives, like Greenspan, are "out of touch with the employees, the industry, and the company itself." The straying underling was especially concerned about being outed, because apparently said executives are regular readers of Valleywag. Hey guys! How about getting in touch with your employees by reading the lament of one geek for hire who's formulating their own exit strategy.
