Announcing Met4Filter.org. A chance meeting at SXSW, a furious month of meetings, conference calls, and negotiations, and finally, the t's are crossed and the i's dotted, and I can tell the world what I've been itching to reveal for weeks. The summary is that Kuro5hin.org, backed by development funding from a company that wishes to remain anonymous for now, has purchased Metafilter, which will henceforth be available at the URL Met4Filter.org. This announcement also kicks off the foundation of the K5 Community Network, which will seek to acquire other leading-edge sites, and become the net's premier destination for online community. I know this is a surprise, but it's a fantastically exciting one. Much more information inside... Update [2002-4-1 10:8:22 by rusty]: True? No, of course not. :-) [kuro5hin.org]
