The other I was talking to an old peer of mine… we worked together at AGEA back in 2000-2002, where we had created (web) content adaption technology. We were too early back then. Then the Bubble burst. So I was talking to my buddy about how important content adaption is today, actually more important today than what it was back then, and I was explaining about the current pain that (still) exist, how there is plenty of room to bring to market a better solution, and how content adaptation is a great opportunity to start a company today.
I just learned that Openwave just acquired WiderWeb; this validates that recent conversation… At “only” $5M”, not the ideal exit strategy for WiderWeb which was started in 2003, but still it proves the point of the value of such content adaptation technology. And congrats to the WiderWeb folks.
