主题：【原创】丧钟为谁而鸣？（2） -- 素里太守
iMarkup Solutions Inc.公司为网页涂鸦的工具红火了一阵子，然后公司转型为提供Business process management (BPM)解决方案的公司，Document Workflow是其中的一个方向，其产品的前端与MS OFFICE紧密集成，公司在2008年11月改名为BP Logix。如今的iMarkup的涂鸦的工具变成了一个39美金的Shareware,如果想试试，请按这里。
2000年前，硅谷（实际在旧金山）的一伙牛人成立了一家叫做E-QUILL（电子羽毛笔）的STARTUP,反正这些牛人都很有些来头，名单在此大家可以欣赏。DotCom时代大家都是英雄所见略同，E-QUILL干着和iMarkup Solutions一样的东东。E-QUILL的产品叫E-Quill Web Mark-Up.，这是产品的介绍.
俗话说不怕贼偷，就怕贼惦记。startup能被惦记上了也是个好事情，好多startup巴不得哪天易帜更张，但也要看有没有这个命。这里的这个贼就是MS。
So can you read on the portfolio page of one of their investors. Can't find any confirmation elsewhere (not Microsoft, not Google).
02/18/02 update: Jason suggests that "perhaps Microsoft prefers to keep small deals like these under the radar?" That makes sense to me, if only because Microsoft might not even really know what to do with it yet. Like in, "hey, this looks cool, can we spare a dime and aquire them?" A dime for Microsoft being a couple million dollars.
Some of these acquisitions never turned out to much. If I recall correctly, DimensionX brought Liquid Motion, which became Vizact. Both were discontinued in 2000, and the whole DirectAnimation thing didn't seem to go anywhere. Likewise, what ever became of CompareNet?
Let's hope E-Quill will have a better fate, because they had a fine product. Maybe Microsoft will plug it into their CMS? Better that than a FrontPage add-on. Let's see where founder Oliver Hurst-Hiller reappears.
于是大家可以看见这幅图片 ---
