Baited?
Someone tried to ‘bait’ me into making a move today but I sort of left them hanging (that sounds harsher than it really was and no, I’m not going to be more specific about it). I always either read too much into something or I’m too dense to take a hint. Either way, it gets me into situations I don’t like. There happens to be history with this person that took me a while to put behind me. To be honest, I was tempted but I’m not walking down the same path again if it’s unlikely to go anywhere.
Facebook Valued At $10 Billion?!
So apparently Microsoft is in talks with Facebook to possibly buy a 5% stake in Facebook that would value the company at $10 billion. Read that again - yes, $10 billion. Google has expressed interest as well. Give me a break. Bubble bobble..
MovableType Going Open Source
This is kind of a follow up to the Wordpress post I made a couple of days ago. Well recently, MovableType (MT), another blogging/CMS application in direct competition with Wordpress, announced a major new version (4.0) that would be completely open source. Note that Wordpress is already open source as well. This is a departure in that previously MT was only free for personal use and was limited in terms of number of users per installation. They also had paid commercial licenses and what not. A lot of people are talking about this and MT themselves spew a lot of marketing speak about how they’re doing this to empower bloggers, etc. But I really don’t think that’s the real reason.
