redditをコンデナストが買収

diggクローンredditがwiredを所有するコンデナストに買収された。redditの従業員はたった4人しかいなくてそのうち1人は14歳にしてrss1.0のスペックを書いて有名なアーロン・シュワルツAaron Swartz。4人はボストンからサンフランシスコに移ることになるけれども、買収後のredditはいままで通り運営されるというから日本語版redditも変わらず使えるのだろう。

Aaron Swartz (born 1986) is a writer, web developer, and entrepreneur. At age 14 he was a co-author of the RSS 1.0 specification. Since then he has become a member of the W3C's RDF Core Working Group, co-designed the formatting language Markdown with John Gruber, and been involved in many other projects.

All four reddit employees will relocate from Boston to Wired's San Francisco office and become part of Wired Digital. Reddit, founded and funded in 2005, is a YCombinator company (see our interview with YCombinator founder Paul Graham here). The two original founders are Steve Huffman and Alexis Ohanian, and they were later joined by Christopher Slowe and Aaron Swartz.
