Why would someone want to buy tweet.photo? Time to market.
The product already had traction—actual users numbering in the thousands—and from the buyer’s perspective, it was cheaper and/or faster for them to buy vs build a comparable service from scratch.
Also, by owning tweet.photo outright, the new owners can bundle it with other complementary services in their portfolio.
There is a saying that there are two ways to make money in software: bundling and unbundling.
