Apple has acquired “Me.com”, according to an article by Apple Insider.
Apparently they also scooped up “MobileMe.com” fairly recently and both acquisitions seem to tie in with a rumoured revamp of their .Mac service.
I’ve been a .Mac subscriber since early 2002 – yes I’m aware that I’m overpaying for basic web services – who has loved his mac-branded address. I don’t know how Apple plans to use Me.com or MobileMe.com but I hope they’re not thinking of using them to replace the Mac.com domain.
A less Apple branded name might help some of us…ooo, lets say…who work for Microsoft *ehem*. Still, Mac.com adds a certain ring to a person’s address. A “need I say more” statement to potential employers who are nice enough to hire you anyway
Anywhoo…thought you guys would like a heads up. I know a few of you use the .Mac service.
