VersionTracker and Sister Sites Sold to C|Net

by , 3:50 PM EDT, August 30th, 2007

VersionTracker and its sister sites, MacFixit and iPhone Atlas, have been sold to C|Net, according to founder Kurt Christensen in his VT Blog on Wednesday.

"Today marks an important milestone for us, as we become part of the CNET family of sites. I’m really excited about this. It gives VersionTracker -- and our sister sites, iPhone Atlas and MacFixIt -- more resources to grow and gives us higher visibility than I could have ever imagined for our humble site. It also gives CNET a stronger presence in the Mac market than ever before. I think that says a lot about what we’ve been able to create here at TechTracker," Mr. Christensen wrote.

The VersionTracker founder expressed his commitment to the sites and passion for the job he'll continue to do.

We can now hope that their anti-Apple and anti-Mac slant (especially on their ZDNet property) would subside somewhat. I'm not holding my breath, though...
