Today Morning, I received a main from Gary Levitt confirming that they are joining with Godaddy and Here is the Main That I received: http://www.techiesmith.com/godaddy-acquires-mad-mimi/
Anyway, We are looking for some improvements of Mad Mimi. As Gary Levitt Says, The Support of godaddy, I also think That, Mad Mimi just took the right path to improve their support but will they still remain free for beginner?
Dean here from Mad Mimi (and Gary's brother and partner). Thanks for posting these awesome questions. You bring up some valid points.
Let's discuss SOPA first. While GoDaddy initially supported SOPA they changed their position and now, under Blake, their new(ish) CEO, they strongly support privacy and a free and open web.
The way we look at this acquisition is this: Mad Mimi is going to stay the same. The same people, same developers and same customer support. We'll continue making improvements like we've always done (based on Gary's ideas and customer feedback and inspiration).
We'll slowly build out a deep integration into GoDaddy for their customers and look at new ways to innovate and stay awesome.
We're not going to change and see this as a cool opportunity to be a force for positive change in a larger company. I'm totally open to chatting more about this too - just shoot me an email at dean @ madmimi.com.
Cheers Dean
