RCU has a new owner
I have just read that RCU has been sold to Hearst Publishing. The deal is supposely worth 20 million and includes the sell of Kaango as well. Has anyone else heard anything on this?

RE: RCU has a new owner
Correct. RCU and Kaango (both formerly owned by me and my partner Michael) sold 80% to Hearst and Media News Group. Michael and I are both staying on and collectively still have an ownership stake.
From a member perspective and client (i.e. our advertisers) perspective nothing will change other than us having additional resources to improve the site (both technically and in content) at a more rapid pace. All the same people that were here before the sale are still here after the sale in same functional roles. We intend on bringing on some full time support staff to increase our already fast response times. We are excited about this news and how it will act as a catalyst to give us the ability to help bolster our services to our visitors and members. I'm looking forward to working hard on making RCU even better in the coming years as I have for the past seven years since its birth. Marc |

RE: RCU has a new owner
Thanks much fellas. It does show if you work hard night and day with focus things can work out.
Now instead of me going on vacation to celebrate I think I'll be working even harder. I can't complain at all as I really enjoy running the site and working with the entire moderator team and members. If it wasn't for that I think I would have blown out years ago. marc |
