Moreover acquired by Verisign

Tom Foremski and Rafat Ali have both been on the story very early on, which has just been confirmed by two of the three founders of Moreover (Nick Denton and David Galbraith). So I'll get out of my reserve and congratulate the team led by my friend Jim Pitkow for the great job they have done over the past couple of years, leading to this acquisition.

I have been pinged by a number of bloggers and journalists over the past few days, asking if was aware of the deal. As a former GP of the fund that led Moreover's Series B, I obviously was but could not talk about it. I am sure you all understood.

Buddy, and fellow co-investor, Ed Sim just posted his "can't comment" note. I guess that Jeff Jarvis' will come soon (Jeff was an independant Board Member of Moreover).
