Jellyfish has been acquired by Microsoft

October 02, 2007 at 9:41am

Everything is finally public — Microsoft has purchased Jellyfish.com, the site I’ve spent most of the last eighteen months building as a member of one of the most amazing teams I’ve had the pleasure of working with.

Straight from the source:

Jellyfish has done some really innovative work in comparative shopping engines. We think the technology has some interesting potential applications as we continue to invest heavily in shopping and commerce as a key component of Live Search. Stay tuned for more great stuff from our new colleagues in Madison!

This is the start of a whole new chapter for us here at Jellyfish, and we’re looking forward to the new challenges. If you’d like to read more, I’ve got a whole list of mentions ready for you. If you prefer, there’s always this search feed.

I think my favorite part so far is that I no longer have to respond with “just fine thanks, and how are things going where you work?” when asked about my job.

Turns out hard work pays off after all.
