Picplum bought Picwing and is essentially a rebranding of the same service, along with improvements. The testimonial holds because it's the same thing, just with an updated name.
- rstocker99 15y agoWell that would explain it wouldn't it. Branding is already better.
- blakeperdue 15y agoI'm confused. If Picwing was acquired, why is their site still active? Was something licensed? UPDATE: from http://techcrunch.com/2011/08/22/a-woman-a-cupcake-a-bank-and-a-square-why-credit-card-companies-are-scared-of-change/ http://techcrunch.com/2011/08/22/a-woman-a-cupcake-a-bank-an... PicPlum acquired the assets of a previous Y-Combinator company PicWing, and took over its printer relationship and initial user base. The company currently has $150,000 in funding offered by SV Angel and Yuri Miller to all Y-Combinator startups earlier this year. The founders say they are beginning their fundraising now, and will be looking to hire soon.
- PStamatiou 15y agoWe haven't migrated the users over yet so we're keeping picwing up in the interim. Picplum was created-from-scratch with no code from picwing but we find value in their current userbase.
- blakeperdue 15y agoNice use of qq.FileUploader. What are you using for those floating (top right) user notifications like when I delete a photo?
