Om Malik announced the purchase on September 15, 2008, a little over a month after buying the mobile blog jkOnTheRun, and said Pigford would join the company and keep running the blog from Denver.^{Source [1]Source [3]}

Josh Pigford started TheAppleBlog in 2004 and built a staff of writers covering Apple. Giga Omni Media acquired it on September 15, 2008 as the seventh blog in Om Malik's GigaOm network; terms were not disclosed, and Pigford later wrote that the price was $75,000 plus a two-year salaried job.
