Shutting down a product after acquihire is not something to celebrate with users
- vinceguidry 13y agoIf this keeps up potential customers will stay away from services offered by startups simply because they won't know how long they'll last. I certainly don't pitch my company on any of these sorts of products. The acqui-hire ecosystem is not one I'm interested in supporting. Find someone else to con.
- DArcMattr 13y agoMore related to the product than the startup: Looks like Dispatch was reinventing IRC. While IRC had its mass appeal heyday in the late 90s, nothing has fully replaced it.
