Rook Media Acquired by GoDaddy

[chris]

According to DomainGang.com, previous sponsors (and a great bunch of people) Rook Media has been acquired by GoDaddy. Good luck to the team, hope all goes well for their future plans.

GoDaddy appears to have acquired Swiss PPC monetization provider, Rook Media, after the following email circulated yesterday afternoon:

“We’ve got exciting news: GoDaddy can confirm that Rook Media customers are moving to GoDaddy’s SmartName parking platform.
GoDaddy and Rook Media will team up to make this transition as seamless as possible for our new customers while doing everything we can to provide best in class support and a top-of-the-line customer experience.”

The article isn't quite clear, they weren't acquired, Rook Media have simply partnered up with GoDaddy to use their parking platform.
