In addition to weblogs.com, Verisign’s acquisition of Moreover was also announced this week. Two of the companies founders, Nick Denton and David Galbraith, have thoughts. Nick reveals that Moreover almost bought Pyra once upon a time, a little tidbit I didn’t reveal in my piece on Moreover from a couple years ago.
Dave Winer comments on the weblogs.com/Verisign deal…odd omission of a link to my post even though he references it several times. Bad luck that I caught him traveling; if I’d realized that beforehand, I would have held off. Dave seems to trust Verisign to do the job; I think Verisign has shown itself to be an untrustworthy, terrible company.
Verisign confirms their purchase of weblogs.com from Dave Winer.
