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.
