Parse made no sense as part of Facebook, but would have made sense if part of AWS or even Microsoft.

Wonder if founders knew this but were just happy to get acquired. Can't say I would blame them.

Hopefully for them part of the (purportedly $85M) deal was in stock. Back when they got acquired FB was trading for ~$25 a share (compared to $112 toady). That would help ease the pain of Zuckerberg throwing away your life's work.
