Lotus alums getting acquired left and right: Zingku and Buzzsaw

In recent weeks there have been two exciting announcements of acquisitions of companies started by friends of mine, and not coincidentally, ex-Lotus Development Corporation folks.

Congratulations to Mussie Shore , who started Zingku on his announcement that he's entered into an agreement to have Google acquire their Zingku service.

And congratulations to: Rick Treitman, Mike Kraley, Paul Kleppner , and many others on their announcement that Adobe Systens has signed a definitive agreemenet to acquire Virtual Ubiquity, makers of Buzzword.

Way to go!!!
