Each of their apps have 10-50K users. Based on the number of reviews on each, I'd say they're probably on the higher end of that. But let's say they have 100K combined users...how does a company like that even get on Twitter's acquisition radar? I doubt it's for very much - probably more of an acqui-hire situation - but even those can be in the low seven figures. It's interesting that they're doing acqui-hires in the wake of layoffs.

I guess it really is all in who you know.

Twitter seems to be learning best practices of Yahoo. Acquiring small/insignificant products and generate buzz (laugh?) in tech media.

Is there some other buzz I'm missing or is the only buzz we're talking about literally just the blog post the company they acquired wrote to announce they'd been acquired?
