I am very pleased to share that Gist, where I have been working for the past 2+ years, has been acquired by Research In Motion – the folks who make the BlackBerry.

Here is the Gist blog post about it and here is the post on the Inside BlackBerry blog.

This is a great outcome for everyone and we are all very excited about joining RIM and charting out a path forward.  I have spent many years working in the space where messaging meets people meets the enterprise and am very excited about what lies ahead.

I still remember my first BlackBerry device. Anybody remember this beauty – the 950?

It was the one about the size of a fist that looked more like a pager than the smartphones of today.  Here is a great historical view of the evolution of their device dating back a whopping 10 years.

Thanks to all who have helped and supported me over the past couple years!
