Considering they are forcing the team to move to SF, there is no way Instapaper will exist in one year.

This is my takeaway as well.

One of the most dangerous things about acquisitions is losing the "magic touch" that the original team had... requiring a cross-country move is not the best way to retain your talent.

The "original team", i.e. Marco Arment, moved on years ago anyway.
