Yes, we've been acquired by Mashable!

We are so very honored—and humbled—to announce that Mashable has acquired blippr. Not only does Mashable advocate for the very social media we represent, they were even the first to write about us early last year, when we entered private beta. To join the Mashable family and work with the likes of Pete Cashmore, Adam Hirsch, Adam Ostrow, and the rest of their talented team on a daily basis is a true honor.

It may seem a strange pairing—a blog and micro-review service such as our own—but we are excited about the possibilities that lie before us, both immediately and long-term. With Mashable’s authors writing detailed pieces and how-tos about the very apps you can now review on blippr, we find a complement to the short-form content our loyal users add while Mashable finds a complement to the long-form content they have provided since Pete Cashmore started blogging about his passion for the web back in 2006.

There are many exciting things to come from both of us in the next few months as this relationship takes form. One thing we can also say to our users is this: don’t worry. blippr will very much continue on being blippr, with micro-reviews and personal recommendations of media at its core. Mashable wholeheartedly believes in aiding us on our mission to be the easiest way to discuss, discover, and organize media. On we go.

Onward and Upward,
the blippr team (Chris and JC)
