Η twitter εξαγοράζει το Cabana

Τους τελευταίους μήνες η twitter έχει ανακοινώσει τις εξαγορές του Clutch, του Summify, της Dasient, της AdGrok και του Posterous.

Η προσπάθεια βελτίωσης των προσφερόμενων υπηρεσίων συνεχίζεται από το δημοφιλές Social Network με μία ακόμα εξαγορά, αυτή του mobile app development startup Cabana.

Η Cabana ιδρύθηκε από τους Reeve Thompson και Jeremy Gordon, ένα αξιόλογο δίδυμο που έχει περάσει από μεγαθήρια όπως οι Sega, Pixar, LucasArts, Adobe και EA.

We are writing today with some exciting news: Cabana has been acquired by Twitter and our team is #JoiningTheFlock!

We built Cabana because we are passionate about empowering people to develop interactive content in new and innovative ways. That same passion for innovation and the democratization of content creation is also shared by the amazing team at Twitter.

Over the past few months, we’ve gotten to know the Twitter team and discovered the tremendous amount of technological synergy and alignment of our visions. The more we explored this synergy, the more excited we became about joining forces and working together.

Starting today we will be joining Twitter’s platform team, and will build tools to help third-party developers create new experiences on Twitter and empower the larger Twitter ecosystem.

This means that we will no longer be offering Cabana as a standalone mobile app development environment.

Cabana will be shutting down on December 1st 2012.

Περιμένουμε λοιπόν να δούμε τι νέο θα φέρει η ομάδα του Cabana στο Twitter...
