Chris MacAskill, chief executive officer of MightyWords, said, "Bitpipe has assembled an impressive network of distribution partners who share our broad computing and technology audiences. MightyWords specializes in offering an immediate, digital alternative to the standard order-and-ship distribution model, and our content and delivery mechanisms are ideal for the Bitpipe Network customer." Bitpipe Inc. is a leading syndicator of in-depth IT content. The company distributes content from more than 2,000 leading IT vendors and more than 50 top analyst firms including IDC, Meta Group and Yankee Group through exclusive agreements with CNET, COMDEX, Computerworld, IT World, TechRepublic, ZDNet and 30 other leading IT and business-related Web sites. Bitpipe also provides aggregated IT content, a proprietary search engine and an opt-in email service for portals to incorporate into their own Web sites.
