Article (http://www.webpronews.com/news/ebusinessnews/wpn-45-20050324IsJupiterResearchForSale.html)

Jupiter Research is up for auction according to SVG today - Forrester has refused to say if they're bidding but clearly wants the world to know that they are indeed moving to pick up rival analytics firm JupiterResearch.


I just had this email sent to me. Any comments. Should I be concerned?

Let's go down to the facts.

In this blog Alan Meckler said (http://weblogs.jupitermedia.com/meckler/archives/007137.html),

Today siliconvalleywatcher.com published a piece indicating that Jupitermedia has essentially sold its JupiterResearch division. Nothing could be further from the truth. It is interesting that the writer's source was not someone at Jupitermedia, but rather an employee of Forrester Research that I have never met nor spoken to in my business life. It is also interesting that the post certainly puts a glow on JupiterResearch as the writer feels that JupiterResearch is the better brand!

And then he blogs again giving it the title "Another Rumor Monger (http://weblogs.jupitermedia.com/meckler/archives/007141.html)".

Then it was added in Nick's article,

Note from WebProNews Editor:

Meckler acquired JupiterResearch in June of 2002 for only $250,000. They are likely to make many millions in profit on this possible sale.
Are you sure Nick this is a possible sale?
