Jupiter Media Metrix was created via the merger of Jupiter Communications and Media Metrix in June 2000.
The Media Metrix part of Jupiter Media Metrix was subsequently sold to comScore. The AdRelevance product was sold to Nielsen NetRatings in 2002 after the FTC blocked a proposed acquisition of Jupiter Media Metrix by NetRatings, and the Jupiter Research business was sold to INT Media Group in June 2002 for $250,000 plus the assumption of liabilities.
Famous quotes containing the words jupiter and/or media:
“If Jupiter should hurl a bolt whenever men sin,
His armory would quickly be empty.”
—Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
“One can describe a landscape in many different words and sentences, but one would not normally cut up a picture of a landscape and rearrange it in different patterns in order to describe it in different ways. Because a photograph is not composed of discrete units strung out in a linear row of meaningful pieces, we do not understand it by looking at one element after another in a set sequence. The photograph is understood in one act of seeing; it is perceived in a gestalt.”
—Joshua Meyrowitz, U.S. educator, media critic. “The Blurring of Public and Private Behaviors,” No Sense of Place: The Impact of Electronic Media on Social Behavior, Oxford University Press (1985)
