Technorati and Six Apart merger talks
Technorati and Six Apart are gaining in their merger talks according to an insider (janitor) at Six Apart. Apparently Technorati needs some help and would like to give money back to its users like Six Apart does. Sifry realized it didn’t make the users pay for Technorati so he needed another approach. They contacted Six Apart and asked for advice in fixing a major blunder. They continue to have the same problems over and over again. It’s called scalability. They need money to buy more servers and are running out of it. Just like Typepad. So what the hell if anyone is going to fix their problems it will be Six Apart. And now we know why Six Apart needed all that cash a few weeks back. Two horrible server management companies finally getting into bed with one another with no real business plans and horrid PR Departments.
You heard it here first. Schnitzle baby.
