Popular Mac and iOS note-taking app Simplenote has a new owner. Simperium, the company behind it, is now a part of Automattic, the creator of WordPress. In a blog post on the app’s new site, Simperium co-founders Michael Johnston and Fred Cheng announced the sale and talked a bit about what it means for the future of Simplenote.
According to Johnston and Cheng, Automattic plans to put more resources behind Simplenote development including improvements to Simperium, the data-syncing service it utilizes. Automattic was able to secure the Simplenote.com domain and has set up a new blog there — utilizing WordPress, of course — to keep users updated on exactly what to expect from forthcoming releases.
Simplenote acquired by Automattic, makers of WordPress originally appeared on TUAW – The Unofficial Apple Weblog on Thu, 24 Jan 2013 17:30:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.
