WhatTheyThink Buys PrintPlanet
The guys over at WhatTheyThink have been busy over the last week. First they buy the assets of Electronic Publishing, now they have bought the online community PrintPlanet:
"Without debate, PrintPlanet.com is the industry’s leading forum community and a natural fit for us. Forum members – located on every continent in the world – exchange between 1.5 and 2.5 million messages every month," said Randy Davidson, CEO/President, WhatTheyThink.com. "Combining WhatTheyThink.com’s content and PrintPlanet.com's discussion forums expands our content and media offerings for more than 55,000 industry members."
Randy pinged me yesterday to get my feedback on the upcoming announcement and I told him the platform needs a second wind, and if anyone is capable of doing that, it's WhatTheyThink.
Randy has also provided some details over at the Print CEO blog.

Agreed - PrintPlanet really ceased to provide much in the way of genuine peer-to-peer support some time ago.
