Well, Well: Tucows Bought Kiko
It turns out the mystery eBay buyer for Kiko was Tucows Inc. and my friend Elliot Noss. Noss explains the Toronto-based company’s rational in a lengthy post. Essentially, it boils down to Tucows’ need for a calendar application within its e-mail system, and buying Kiko for $258,100 on eBay provided Tucows with good technology much faster than developing it internally. “We all believe that a calendar is a very important function in the messaging suite for small businesses,” Noss said. “Given that people don’t want to maintain separate services for personal and business use, and because the line between personal and business services is getting blurrier, we felt this functionality was a big hole for us.”
