Open Text Buzzing Hummingbird Bid
Determined not to let major market share and customers slip away, Open Text this week made an informal offer for Hummingbird Ltd, which is in the process of being acquired by Symphony Technology Group.
This would be weird. Hummingbird bought Andyne in 1996-ish. Andyne was the first company I worked for in the technology business. OpenText bought the assets of OpenCola in 2003-ish. OpenCola was the most interesting startup experience I've ever had (and where I met Cory Doctorow).
