I'd be wary, personally. Facebook bought divvyshot and shut it down, thereby creating a space in that market too -- that was then quickly filled by Facebook, as they reimplemented photos based on the work of the guys at divvyshot.

Even for a talent acquisition, I'd be very surprised if they bought these guys to do something other than reimplement the functionality of Drop.io integrated into FB.

Sure valid point, either way the founders should not complain too much as a FB stock option and job will work our just perfect, if FB ever goes public.
