It's interesting how big companies have gone from attempting to cobble together teams to simply slurping up existing ones. Inter-product acquirhires (buzzwords, ahoy!) like Twitter + Posterous and cases like this, Github + Ordered List, and so on are becoming more and more common. I think it's interesting (and, of course, helpful to me as a consultant that works in the same spaces as these guys and gals), but I wonder if there will be any larger negative impact from it? I can't see any, but I don't know if I can see the whole picture or not.
