Last week Comedy Central announced they were moving ColbertNation to the Flux network. Now MTVN has announced that they are acquiring Social Project, Inc., its partner in building the Flux social media platform. We asked Mark Jafar of MTV Networks via email if there was a coincidence. "MTV Networks has been working to implement Flux across its sites for almost a year now, so when ColbertNation relaunched last week, it was a natural fit for the Flux network." MTVN also named Joshua Dern Senior Vice President and General Manager of Social Media. What does his job entail? "Joshua will oversee the growth and development of the Flux social media platform," Jafar emailed us." So he'll manage Flux as it continues to grow the number of sites in network, add new features and capabilities."
