FlightCaster (YC S09) Acquired

"We're pleased to announce that FlightCaster has been acquired by Next Jump Inc. It's a good day here at FlightCaster HQ (freakin' phenomenal day!), and we're stoked about the new possibilities."

How much better an opening statement is that, when compared to generic PR shrill about XYZ Co joining with ABC Ltd to provide blah blah blah leverage. Made me even more excited for the team and FlightCaster users.

Thanks Jacob! --Jason from FlightCaster-- The good vibe is much appreciated. We've got really sweet stuff we'll be rolling out soon...

Again, where is the link to your site on your blog? I realize there is a link in the post. This has been a recurring theme here, site blogs that do not link to the site they are blogging about.
