Vancouver-based NowPublic buys up Truemors
Vancouver-based participatory news site NowPublic.com has bought up Truemors, a rumor site launched by Guy Kawasaki in May 2007.
According to CEO Len Brody, NowPublic will mesh Truemors content into its website:
Truemorists are digging in the four corners of the web for the status of the rumor mill at any moment. It will drive leads to our members for stories going on around the world and give our readers a look at what’s bubbling under the hood.
The Truemors web address already redirects to NowPublic.
Brody didn’t say how much he paid for Truemors, but it is probably quite a bit more than the $12,107.09 that Kawasaki spent setting it up.
Kawasaki also becomes chairman of NowPublic’s board of advisors.
