Red Sweater Software Acquires Taste

Somerville, MA. April 1, 2007

Red Sweater Software today announced that is has acquired taste. After years of speculation about such a move, the company said that it realized the time had finally come.

“Taste can be difficult to spot, and a real challenge to capture. That’s why I’m thrilled to announce that we’ve simply acquired it,” said Daniel Jalkut, founder of Red Sweater Software. “If taste is what you’re looking for, we’ve got loads of it.”

Red Sweater’s acquisition of taste marks the latest in a series of high profile transactions. It recently purchased MarsEdit, the Mac’s leading blog-publishing software, and MacXword, which it has rebranded as Black Ink, the ultimate crossword-solving application for Mac OS X.

Asked if yet more acquisitions were on the radar, Jalkut took a defensive stance: “We have no comment about future acquisitions that Red Sweater may or may not be pursuing.” However, when pressed for details, Jalkut confided that “the company is running low on T-shirts. We may soon be acquiring a few of the latest Daring Fireball designs, to boost employee morale.” When asked to elaborate on these plans, Jalkut declined to make further comments.
