So.. the Brian Madden Company has been acquired by TechTarget an IT Media company with several large websites.
I think this news is going to make alot of noise in the community, hopefully people will support the new situation. The situation will for sure give Brian and Gabe more time to work on what they really believe in.
I for one support people who are able to be succesful and take a good long look and then decide for whatever reason to back to the roots, what made this fun in the first place and i think for Gabe and Brian that is blogging, writing analyzing. Not so much the hassle of administration in a small company.
My hopes for the new situation is that BrianMadden.com will keep its standard, the forums will grow even more active and the articles and blogs are going to continue to deliver Community content
All i all.. TechTarget acquired The Brian Madden Company. I am assuming not much will change other than more visibility when it comes to Gabe and Brian.
Good luck with the new jobs Gabe and Brian!
