Adobe acquires social engagement platform Livefyre via VentureBeat
LivefyreってDisqusと並んで有名なコメントシステムなんですが、こういうサービスってどういうことになるのかなと思ったらAdobeが買収だそうです。斜め読みなので意図はよくわかってませんがとりあえずAdobeの展開するCreative Cloudに組み込まれるみたいですね。
よく考えると、Adobeはこれまで人の手でコンテンツを作るオーサリングツールを提供してきましたが、新しく作ることと同じぐらい、既存のコンテンツを流通させることは重要で、そういう文脈なのであればまあ正しい方向性なのかもしれません（完全に予想）。あとで詳しく読んでみます。
