I work for Autodesk via a buyout of Creative Market, and Autodesk has been amazing. Creative Market has existed within Autodesk and is thriving.

Yup! I used to work for PureVolume, then Virb, and then Media Temple via acquisitions. Crazy world.

What is infuriating is that Virb still lives under the MediaTemple umbrella. I'm sure MediaTemple loves having a good as dead product in their product lineup.

I had the opportunity to interact with some of the new execs at GoDaddy and the culture was definitely shifting. But Virb's numbers just couldn't compare to GoDaddy's own site builder. Virb was a drop in the bucket compared to the user base they already had.
