Akamai’s Linode acquisition – initial thoughts

via wpjohnny.com => original post link

Thoughts right off the top of my head surrounding this surprise news.

In hindsight, I could have totally seen this coming. All the right pieces were in play. Every hint and cue was there but I didn’t suspect it because of my blind faith in Linode. But push that personal bias aside and what do you see?

A company going stagnant compared to its competition.A company promising to expand service coverage but moving slowly (or not really moving at all).A company hinting at new products and services (for years) but never delivering.A company that feels same-oh same-oh despite a new website design.
