My Interview with John Moore
Yesterday, I did an e-mail interview with Boston Entrepeneur John Moore for his blog about some of the community management work that we do for AddThis at Clearspring….
A friend of mine on Twitter noted that the AddThis team, which is a clearspring company, provides great support via its community. I reached out to Justin Thorp, the Community Manager for AddThis, to learn more.
Q. How does social media fit into the overall goals of your business?
A. We utilize social media as a way to meet potential customers and sustain relationships with our existing customers.
I’m flattered to have gotten a couple of these recently. I’ll post the next one up when it arrives. Excited that more and more folks are interested in customer service and community management.
Clearspring CEO Hooman Radfar on “Clearspring + AddThis = Universal Sharing”
So… as you all know, this morning, Clearspring announced its acquistion of AddThis. Well our CEO Hooman Radfar has just recently published a blog post about it, which I think is worth reading.
Here’s an excerpt…
Our vision is to create an open sharing platform connecting publishers, advertisers, and developers. This platform will enable a true first on the web – enabling users to leverage any web-based service from within the context of any application, anywhere. As we move towards this vision, Clearspring will continue deliver the best widget distribution and monetization services possible and AddThis will continue it’s run towards the goal of becoming the most ubiquitous sharing tool for publishers. Shortly, however, you will start to see the beginnings of this vision come to life.
Clearspring Acquires AddThis
Big news today at Clearspring HQ. We’ve acquired the bookmark and content sharing service AddThis, the button thats frickin’ all over the Web. Together, we make the most comprehensive set of sharing services on the Web. We’re all really pumped.
Venture Beat did a really nice write up. Here’s an excerpt:
Clearspring, the widget creation platform, has acquired AddThis, the bookmarking and sharing button, for an undisclosed amount. The acquisition moves Clearspring closer to becoming a service that allows any users to share content from any website.
AddThis will initially remain its own service. Through the acquisition, Clearspring reports that the two services combined will be reach approximately 200 million users and 300,000 publishers.
