  I'm not so sure. "We regret to announce...", "We appreciate", a factual paragraph about what the team has been doing at ebay, and a way to export your data. That's far better than the typical "We're excited to announce that we've been acquired, and are immediately shutting down the product", at least in my opinion.

      Fair enough. I was just looking at the post in question without knowing the context. If they had ran it a few more years before they shut it down it'd feel less deceptive, since conditions can change and a product might not make sense to continue for financial reasons.

        How many years? How many internet services do you use that have run for 2 + "a few more" years?

      They were acquired nearly two years ago. http://ourincrediblejourney.tumblr.com/post/89180616013/what-is-an-incredible-journey http://ourincrediblejourney.tumblr.com/post/89180616013/what... says that the site is explicitly for acquihires. If this was an acquihire then they royally screwed it up.
