Automattic, the company that operates WordPress.com, has acquired Beeper. As you may recall, Beeper is the company that briefly brought iMessage to Android, much to the chagrin of Apple. The move comes as Automattic aims to become an all-in-one solution for cross-platform messaging.
The deal was announced on Tuesday. Automattic will acquire the company for $125 million and absorb its 27 employees, as reported by Bloomberg. Beeper co-founder Eric Migicovsky is also joining Automattic and will serve as the company’s “head of messaging.”
