Yahoo acquires Astrid
- general_failure 13y agoI don't want to take anything away from Astrid. I keeps dismissing my ideas as trivial and already done. When I think I have a new idea, my friends would dismiss it as trivial and already done. Take astrid's todo list or task sharing for example. My initial and only thought would be 'does the world need another todo app', 'another list making app' really? If I take the idea to my friends, they would bombard me with companies who do exactly the same thing. And yet here we are with Astrid being acquired. It seems to have some angel investment/funding even. The founders may not be millionaires but they definitely made more money than I did. Note to self: do something. anything. and get acquired.

- shenanigoat 13y agoGood for them. Astrid is best todo/task app I've ever tried...and I've tried many. In fact, testing out todo/task apps is a great way to procrastinate.
