Calling it “an offer we can’t refuse,” the founders of a photo-sharing service called Divvyshot announced Friday that the start-up has been acquired by Facebook. Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but it’s clear that as with Facebook’s acquisition of Parakey–and even the far bigger FriendFeed buy–this is an acquisition designed to get the engineering team on board.
Divvyshot, which launched with backing from the Y Combinator incubator, allows for group photo sharing: multiple users can edit albums, which are grouped around various events and places. As part of the acquisition, the service will be shutting down.
