Glassboard’s New Home

Second Gear acquires Glassboard. Second Gear is Justin Williams, @justin.

I’m so pleased. I don’t have any business interest in this sale — just the personal satisfaction of knowing that software I helped create is going to a great home.

I use Glassboard every day. It’s the main way Q Branch communicates. I use it with my family, with the local Xcoders group, and with other small projects.

This acquisition marks a personal moment: everything I brought to NewsGator, or created while there, has been passed off to another company. None of my apps remain. They’ve moved to Black Pixel, Push.io, Red Sweater, and now Second Gear.
