Facebook has acquired Divvyshot (YC W09)

This is great news. Congrats to Sam and the team.

Congrats to the team! Also, thank you for featuring the reddit logo on your homepage. ;)

I think we can now conclusively prove that having a reddit logo on your homepage leads to a successful exit.

Omg, yet another YC startup has been killed^H^H^H^H^Hacquired ? Oh well, hope the team has been offered something little bit more material, beside "the resources and freedom to build cool stuff". :-)

Hi everyone,

Thank you for all the congratulations. We're thrilled to be joining the Facebook team. Frankly it's still taking time for everything to sit in.

I'll admit that it's bittersweet. When you spend 18 months obsessing over your company it's hard to see it go. It ultimately came down to the decision that we could touch more people's lives at Facebook...and that's what we've been in this for all along.

Since this post is going to get a lot of eyeballs I want to take this chance to solicit any suggestions/feedback/complaints HNers have for Facebook Photos. I can't comment on exactly what we'll be doing at Facebook, but I can promise whatever you tell me will get in front of the "right people." :)

If you want you can email me directly: sam@divvyshot.com

Since their legal department might read this: I'm not yet a Facebook employee and I'm not speaking on behalf of Facebook, anything you tell me is going to be placed in the public domain, you waive all rights to ownership over any IP that Facebook ends up implementing, etc.

Hopefully facebook will let them open source, just as Google did for EtherPad and Remail. It always feels regretful when a service gets bought up and shut down but I hope open sourcing becomes a common mitigating factor.
