I interpreted it as Dropbox was fortunate to acquire HelloSign.
Also, this may just be some creative writing. Dropbox’s announcement did not use such language.
- chrisseaton 8y ago> I think “snares” could be positive or negative. You know a snare is a hidden trap for animals? I can't imagine being snared to be positive - it implies you're going to be skinned or eaten.
- okmokmz 8y agoI've certainly heard snared used positively. As in, one has snared something that is beneficial to them and difficult to catch
- azhenley 8y agoPeople often say “he/she is a good catch.” Sure, the term probably comes from hunting but I have always considered it to be a compliment. Not the term I would use in a business context though.
- DenverCoder009 8y agoIt also implies you've caught something of value. And get to have stew.
