Yahoo buys Zimbra!

September 17, 2007

Yahoo just announced they are buying my favorite email company, Zimbra for $350MM.  Looks like the Benchmark guys are getting 10x on their money!  This is great news for everyone involved.  We are very excited about the prospect of an even more powerful email system (Yahoo, don’t screw it up).  Mike reported the news earlier today in a post titled, "Breaking: Yahoo Acquires Zimbra for $350 million in Cash." Architel and Big in Japan have used Zimbra for more than a year with great success.  I wrote about the platform a couple of weeks ago here.
