Presumably they don't get the brand, domain name, existing code base, and access to registered users.
There's probably a lot more to this story than we know--there's no need to jump to conclusions.
- jonknee 17y agoI don't think Facebook needs the domain, code or registered users. They liked the idea and obviously the people behind it. But to launch it on a Facebook like scale it would need a rewrite, tons of legal power and probably a new name anyway (even TipJoy learned to not like their name).

- GavinB 17y agoRight, and that's why no one was interested in buying the company. Investors own the company, not the employees--even if they are founders.
