Hopefully this is one of those acquisitions where the acquired company ends up taking over and reinventing the acquiring company.

I don't think so.

Wufoo and SurveyMonkey are both profitable and they both charge for a product that solves a real problem.

"Wufoo has helped people collect over $100,000,000 worth of revenue for the users and about $200,000 in payments per day."

I really hope you guys continue to kill it in the form space.

There is a ton of money in online surveys. Advertisers spend a lot on surveys.
