ChannelAdvisor Acquisition of Marketworks Update

Marketworks a Channel Advisor CompanyThis is an update to the acquisition of Marketworks by ChannelAdvisor that I posted earlier. I have posted what I have found to be some bullet points of information on the Marketworks acquisition. These were various sources written about the acquisition that I have compiled and some other thoughts about the merger.

  • ChannelAdvisor will cut Marketworks staff by about 50%
  • Most all changes seems to be geared at the Marketworks customers, nothing I could find on existing Channel Advisor’s customers having to change anything
  • Not many details known about future implications, most everyone online is quoting the original press release
  • Sounds like ChannelAdvisor will keep both channels functioning independently for a time, then move everyone over to the Channel Advisor side
  • There are implications about this happening because of a slow down on ebay, and that Marketworks was not a well run company
  • Found MANY posts that were totally unhappy with Marketworks product line and features
  • Infopia and Zoovy may have to change tactics because of this move

Image of the Day [Freezing Colorado]

admin Popularity: 15% [?] September 30th, 2007

This image was taken just a few days ago. YES, these two photos were taken on September 25th, in Creede, Colorado. Not the most photographic images I know, but we went up to visit some family in Colorado and froze to death in just a few days. The fall weather in this part of Colorado can be brutal, and the winter just miserable. Being from the south, cold is what it gets for two days in February when it gets below 40 degrees, here, at the 9,000 foot level, it gets to be -30*F in the winter, and just plain cold in the fall.

At this elevation, temperatures are well below freezing long before the rest of us even know fall is near. It is one of the most beautiful parts of the country, and the most unforgiving and harsh as well. The Aspens were in full yellow fall colors, frost and all.

The temp shown above was actually quite warmer than it was in the car. The car read 19.3*F as I took this photo. Just two long days in the car and we were back in the fall in the south, a cool 92*, ahhhh, we can almost turn off the air conditioning now. 73, Scott [KI4WLR]
