derrickrabble on: Six Apart Acquires SplashBlog?

Curious, indeed. Looking forward to learning more from John. I've been observing this development all day - Finnish time, mind you, so long before Derrick woke up.

In any case, I've already sent my congratulations to John. He's got experience making mobile apps for different platforms, dealing with manufacturers and operators, and has experience integrating mobile apps to online publishing platforms (what's left?). And if Six Apart has brought on more than John, such as the whole SplashBlog team and platform, then more power to them.

In any case, it brings Six Apart up to date with their own portfolio of mobile apps. Sure beats starting from scratch.

Great move for Six Apart. I just love the way they grow.

Six Apart Acquires SplashBlog? I got an email earlier today via Plaxo telling me that John Chaffe from SplashData makers of Splash Blog was the new director of mobile at Six Apart. I thought, hmm, that's curious, I don't recall any news about Splash Blog recently. So I cruised over the the About Us page on Splash Data and noticed that John, who I believe was the CEO isn't on the list. I then clicked on the Splash Blog page and saw this and the mysterious Six Apart logo on the right side. Must be a recent unannounced acquisition by Six Apart.
