Gaia Online

According to BizJournals.com, the popular social networking site Gaia Online has laid off 16 full-time and 20 contract employees, about 13% of its total staff. This is in spite of a report by the San Jose Mercury that the company, which makes $1 million selling virtual goodies to real-life anime and game geeks-- and expects December to be a record month. It's a preemptive strike to avoid falling into the trouble other companies are already in, but still...ouch.

Gaia joins TOKYOPOP and probably a couple dozen other entertainment (although not necessarily anime/manga)-related companies in laying off this month. Happy Holidays?

Thanks to Gage for the tip!
