Demographic and trends tracking site Nua.com found a new home Tuesday when Jupitermedia
, owner of Nua.com competitor CyberAtlas.com, scooped it for an
undisclosed amount.
Jupitermedia plans to turn Nua.com into a section of its CyberAtlas.com
offering.
“The acquisition of Nua.com strengthens our editorial coverage of the
Internet and information technology and will be a valuable resource for our
user audience as well as for Jupitermedia,” said Jupitermedia Chairman and
CEO Alan M. Meckler. “The addition of Nua.com’s content and resources to
our own CyberAtlas.com, combined with our paid research offerings from
Jupiter Research, further expands Jupitermedia’s international research
offerings.”
Jupitermedia acquired Nua.com from Dublin, Ireland-based publisher Scope
Communications Group, which publishes Computerscope and PC Live! magazines.
It also runs technology site Techcental.ie. Scope has owned the
Nua.com site for about two years, picking it up in receivership when its
parent, Nua, hit the skids.
Nua.com is perhaps best known for its How Many
Online? feature, which offers an estimate of the global Internet user
population. The site claims more than 200,000 people in more than 140
countries read its news and analyses each week, and said it has more than
80,000 subscribers for its weekly newsletter.
Jupitermedia is the parent of internetnews.com.
