Speakeasy members got an email this morning from the company’s CEO informing us that Best Buy has bought the company. My first thought was “Come on, it’s a little early for April Fools gags,” but apparently it’s real. Like many others, I’m pretty concerned about this. I don’t talk about very many companies, but Speakeasy is one that I’ve consisted liked and recommended. That they are now owned by a company I don’t at all care for is not reassuring. I’m going to have to keep an eye on this in the future — it’s not going to be a simple “I need teh internets, go sign up with Speakeasy” proposition anymore.
