Performancing sold - yes, it's real, it's damn real

Performancing has been sold. No really. Yes, really. It's true this time! After the deal with Payperpost fizzled, and the CEO left, and then the new CEO left, and then the old CEO came back, and then Partners closed, SplashPress Media has purchased the assets of Performancing. The release (piece below) does not discuss the Firefox blog extension status. It does appear that the new owners want to restart the Partners ad network, "in due time." I am excited for Nick and Chris and will certainly cover the changes that take place under the new ownership. So far there does not seem to be the same level of backlash as was exhibited with the Payperpost purchase. Check out my interview with Nick from October.

From their release:

SplashPress Media, owner of numerous sites including The Blog Herald, one of the oldest sites on the internet covering blogging news and new media, has announced it is acquiring the core assets of Performancing.com including the bloggers' community and Performancing Metrics. According to David Krug, "Over the last year Performancing has built up a large and loyal community of bloggers from all walks of life. They have created and provided tools and quality resources to bloggers and blogging communities. We wish to continue providing the blogosphere with affordable tools to help people join the new media revolution which is changing how we consume media. Nick Wilson, and the other Performancing founders rushed onto the scene and were quickly covered in top blogs such as TechCrunch, among others. They developed the Performancing for Firefox tool, and created a great portfolio of tools that I use to this day in my blogging. We look forward to carrying that vision forward and farther." Performancing.com will continue to operate as a separate division of SplashPress Media.
