The folks at TechCrunch have purchased the site F-ckedCompany.com.
The basic details of the transaction are included in a press release that will go out around 9 pm PST tonight, and Pud has also mentioned this on his personal blog. We weren’t going to announce this for another week or so (even though I hinted at it on CrunchNotes), but too many people know about it already and news of it was starting to leak (see Wired and CNET as well). I don’t want to be in a position again where other sites are breaking our news, so we’re announcing officially this weekend.
I’m drinking from my F-ckedCompany.com coffee mug right now. Sadly, the logo has faded over the years. This story really has no security angle to it. I just love these two sites. Great news.
It’s not April 1st so I’m going to assume that this is a genuine announcement.
UPDATE: Well, the joke might be on me. Turns out that April 1st may also include March 31st. A new calendar it would seem. Not sure at this point if this is real or a joke. Either way, very funny. :-/
The upside being that we got picked up on Techmeme again. Now that is very cool!
