Today is a good day for Zite CEO, Mark Johnson and his team.
It's actually a good day for CNN and their digital publishing efforts.
This morning, both organizations announced that Zite has been acquired by CNN
“Zite represents the next generation of content discovery and personalized publishing, and CNN wants to help lead in that space,” said KC Estenson, general manager of CNN Digital. “We think we can advance the industry in a meaningful way that helps content creators expand their businesses while growing the distribution of a product that people already love. The Zite technology can also help CNN's Websites and apps serve more personalized content, making our current digital services even better.”
