We're really excited to announce our acquisition of Digimix, a small company based in Atlanta that makes a kick-ass web-based audio editor. After Michael and I had the opportunity to meet with Alan we knew he would be a great fit for the Aviary family.
We first came into contact with Digimix after watching it win the 2007 Adobe Air Derby awards at Adobe Max. Since then we've had the opportunity to meet with Alan Queen, the founder and lead developer on Digimix several times and realized his goals for Digimix fell exactly in line with our roadmap for our audio products. His philosophies and ours just clicked and it made sense to approach the market together and join forces!
So Alan, an official welcome! We're all super-excited to work with you and look forward to enabling digital creation on the web for everyone together.
A full press release can be found after the jump:

"We're complementing and reinforcing the appeal and robustness of our suite of applications," said Avi Muchnick, CEO, Aviary, Inc.

It's a perfect match for us, as Aviary has the infrastructure and the audience that Digimix needs, and now we'll be able to take it much further than we could on our own. We can't wait to see what the Aviary community creates with audio."

It was the day of the big sale. Rumors of the sale (and some advertising in the local paper) were the main reason for the long line that formed by 8:30, the store's opening time, in front of the store.

These beautiful jewelries can catch the eyes of women all the time since they always believe that the jewelries in the shop window are much better than those in their jewelry box.

Woo! That's super exciting news... I was thinking about this just last night, that I couldn't wait for some of the non-still-image apps to start appearing. Good to see movement on that front! :)
