“Incisive Media indicated it plans to use the acquisition to expand into the U.S. B-to-B publishing market, and to expand the search engine strategies conferences into other markets.”

Chairman-CEO of Jupitermedia, Alan Meckler will use the proceeds to make more acquisitions of stock photography and digital images companies.

This is pretty amazing. I’ll post updates as I see them.
