Waggle-Gegy Acquires TulipTools, announce plans to beat Ebay-Enron with new phpBB-Auction software script.
(Bizness Wire-NEW YORK-April 1, 2006)- Waggle-Gegy announced today that it has acquired TulipTools for an undisclosed sum. The company wasted little time after the acquisition before changing the forum name to Lieworld. Waggle-Gegy CEO Troy McDunald said the new name better reflects the corporate vision he and Waggle-Gegy President Ray Rumeo share.
Waggle-Gegy President Ray Rumeo said he would temporarily take over all moderation duties on the forum. Waggle-Gegy refused to answer questions about rumors that CEO McDunald plans to advertise the newly acquired forum by sending out a mass emailing to all 70 million active users of rival Ebay-Enron's auction site.
During the question and answer session with reporters, Waggle-Gegy President Ray Rumeo said he had traded his Rainworx auction software and 2 cans of Pringles Cheesums for a copy of the newly released phpBB-Auction software script. Rumeo said the combination forum/auction script was the secret weapon the company's planned Waggle-Gegy Auction site would use to beat archrival Ebay-Enron,"I truly believe phpBB-Auctions's blending of forums and auctions is the Web 2.0 next wave in the online auction industry and will allow us to become the next Ebay-Enron...and as an added benefit I'll never have to leave the forums".
Rumeo and McDunald both refused to comment on rumors that Waggle-Gegy planned to use the phpBB-Auction software to transform the newly acquired Lieworld forums into a B-2-B auction site/forum.
