Adobe aquires Macromedia
When my buddy Joel sent me the message this morning I thought he was joking. Wow, 2 long term competitors are going into a joint adventure? Over the last few years, Adobe faced serious challenges from Macromedia. As a relatively younger company, Macromedia has done an amazing job to take over the web design and online media development market. Adobe tried to produce their version of "Dreamweaver" (Go Alive) and "Flash" (Live Motion), but both attempts failed.
