I'm confused. If Picwing was acquired, why is their site still active? Was something licensed?

UPDATE: from http://techcrunch.com/2011/08/22/a-woman-a-cupcake-a-bank-an...

PicPlum acquired the assets of a previous Y-Combinator company PicWing, and took over its printer relationship and initial user base. The company currently has $150,000 in funding offered by SV Angel and Yuri Miller to all Y-Combinator startups earlier this year. The founders say they are beginning their fundraising now, and will be looking to hire soon.




We haven't migrated the users over yet so we're keeping picwing up in the interim. Picplum was created-from-scratch with no code from picwing but we find value in their current userbase.


Nice use of qq.FileUploader. What are you using for those floating (top right) user notifications like when I delete a photo?


Wrong link (altho that cupcake is a good read): http://techcrunch.com/2011/08/12/yc-funded-picplum-beautiful...
