Austin-based web 2.0 company Pluck, who was recently purchased by Demand Media, made a bunch of Pluck-ers happy early last week. Word on the street is that Pluck-ers were paid cash money for their vested “shares” of Pluck and were given “shares” of Demand Media for their non-vested Pluck “shares”.
Ok, so this is not earth-shattering news, but I think it’s great to see a post-dot-com-bust company do well and reward its employees while other companies are failing or laying people off or selling out for low amounts.
