SixApart acquires Splashblog

Filed in archive Venture Capital on March 14, 2006

True I'm late on this - the press release got stuck in our spam filters - Blogging Service SixApart has acquired Splashblog. Pictured Splashblog is a mobile blogging service that lets you upload photos from a mobile device.

Om Malik speculates on the reasons:

"By acquiring Splash Data and thus Splash Blog, Six Apart can now expand their footprint to non-Nokia devices. I have used the Splash Blog software on T-Mobile MDA and Cingular 8125 Pocket PC phones, and have been pretty happy with the ease of use. It works best with a Treo. I think this will also help Six Apart make a breakthrough with the cellular phone companies, and get more mainstream users as their customers. It is one of those strategic moves, I think more companies should be thinking about."

I told you so :)
