Big congratulations to Tim for selling his company, to Om for seeing his first True investment come to fruition, and to True for another great investment outcome!
BackType will open source Storm, their distributed, real-time stream processing system.
I’ll be on a webcast this Thursday talking about Automattic’s open source based business model.
Congratulations to Om for breaking the Skype-Microsoft news, which must be among the very biggest tech stories ever broken by a blogger. And as Om told me this morning, this is the kind of day when you are glad to be hosted on WordPress.com (GigaOM is a WordPress VIP and is currently seeing record traffic spikes due to their Skype coverage).
This is my new favorite web site.
