wordpress/automattic aquires WP.COM and BLO.GS from yahoo!
Quote:
Yes it?s true, Automattic is now the proud owner of WP.com, which we acquired from our buddies over at Yahoo! We?ve been using WP.com as internal shorthand for this site for years now, and ever since we figured out four or five years ago that Yahoo had that domain (as opposed to the Washington Post or something) we?ve been doing our best to get it, a journey that culminated in ultimate success a few days ago.

Other news, they also aquired blo.gs from yahoo as well.

Do you guys remember Blo.gs? In addition to being a cool domain, it?s a ping-update service like Ping-O-Matic that was started by Jim Winstead and acquired by Yahoo in June of 2005.

Some exciting news today: Yahoo! is transferring blo.gs to Automattic for safekeeping and further development. I?ve been a long-time fan of the service, and it even inspired the early WordPress feature which reordered your blogroll based on update times.

Great news. Hopefully, Bl.ogs would prosper under Automattic's care. Yahoo bought a lot of companies over the years and failed to capitalize on them (most of the time). Some interesting divestments by established Dot Coms recently (Stumbleupon breaking loose from Ebay is one of the more notable ones).
