Here I go again rehashing something I’ve already written about, but so be it…it’s relevant 
As I talked about recently, many blog platforms seem to be making a bigger jump into social media, and today Google (who already owns Blogger by the way) has acquired another blogging platform - TNC. TNC claims that they’ve been doing the social media thing longer than most of the other blogging services.
TNC is out of Korea, and many are speculating that this will be the beginning of Google trying to capture more market share in Asia where it is not nearly as dominant as it is here in the U.S. This might be the case, but I have to wonder if TNC has some back-end things going on that Google is interested in as well. Perhaps things that it will incorporate with Blogger.
Admittedly, I am not really familiar with TNC’s product(s). I know they have a social tool called TextCube. Usually when Google makes an acquisition, it is something interesting, so we’ll have to see what becomes of this one.
For more on TNC from the horse’s mouth…
Thanks for the information.
I think Google will integrate TNC and Blogger
Good to see that ur email subscriptions crossed 1000 mark.
Globalization at its best. There is hope for other start ups in other countries that they too can aspire to be bought over by one of the biggies!
Who knows what Google is up to? I suspect they are looking to cover as many demographic and geographic territories as possible in order to ensure revenue streams continue at a pace even when their traditional markets are affected by turbulent times.
yep, globalizations gives the way to new opportunities and beginnings
yep, globalization is a good idea
I suspect they are going to buy them for more exposure in Asia. They need to enter the Asian market as soon as possible if they want to expand.
