Speculation mounts over Six Apart acquisition

Software maker Six Apart has made a "significant" acquisition, according to sources cited by TechCrunch's Michael Arrington.

While the purchase may not be large in size, it possibly will mark a strategic shift for the company behind popular blogging platforms TypePad, Movable Type, and Vox, Arrington said, adding that an official announcement about the buy is due in the next few days.

It's anyone's guess which company Six Apart, which recently sold its LiveJournal unit and launched a Facebook application, may have picked up. Arrington's iPod Shuffle bait (that's the prize he says goes to the first accurate blog response) has attracted more than 200 comments so far.

My experience with Sixapart & Vox

I love Vox but when I tried to post some video it has been a week and still no video. Worst of all no support. Repeated calls to vm's and finally a very kind receptionist who stated we are in business and there are working on the issue. As kind as she is it still is not fixed.

I would hope that who ever took this over or whoever they took over they offer better support.

As I told them I have no issues about if business is going belly up or they are having issues but to not acknowledge or inform their clients is a definite no no and is frowned upon.

I wish them the best of luck. If I dont get a response soon I will be closing my account and moving on.
