Goowy acquired by AOL!

We have been working closely in partnership with AOL since early 2007. During this time, we've had an opportunity to see AOL grow and evolve as a company. For this reason, among others, we're thrilled to announce that AOL has acquired Goowy. We are all incredibly excited about the opportunity to be part of the AOL team.

AOL's vision and focus on consumer engagement, content and advertising align directly with our suite of products.  As a part of AOL we will have access to an amazing array of resources, which will enable us to continue the advancement of our syndication and analytics platform, while creating more dynamic widget experiences for our clients and end users.

We have had so many great conversations with AOL about enhancing the user experience, delivering relevant content, increasing engagement and breaking glass, which we can't wait to share with you over the coming months. We could not be more excited about the opportunity in front of us to be part of the continued success of a leading global company.

When we first started Goowy in 2004, we wanted to do something that would have scale; that would touch lots of people; that would deliver new and exciting experiences. With the acquisition we are confident that our dream will be achieved. Stay tuned to see what's next.

A few parting promises…

  •  We will not become suits (or wear them unless it's a wedding)
  •  We will continue to innovate and build great products
  •  We will remain focused on our users
  •  We will make a difference

 Thanks for all of your support!

Great job and congrats Alex and company. You folks are the "good guys" and we're proud of you!

Congrats guys! I particularly respect your approach to business WRT Goowy/YourMinis and by keeping things lean and taking less funding I hope you are all able to enjoy more of the upside.
