The Oregon-based MacFixit site’s staff will remain in Oregon, but their ownership passes to CNet and its passel of technology sites.
Insanely Great Mac worried about the acquisition in a post about the deal today:
Aside from a few glowing platitudes, neither CNet nor MacFixIt are providing any information about what this acquisition means in terms of content or presentation.
If the past is any guide, then perhaps we should be mourning the passing of MacFixIt. The example of MacCentral comes to mind…
VersionTracker and iPhone Atlas are part of the deal, as sister sites of MacFixIt. Kurt Christensen said, “You won’t see a lot of changes today, other then some new logos and copyright changes. VersionTracker will remain in Portland, with the same team that has been publishing updates and troubleshooting information for the past 10 years.”
