    1. 📰 "The Klout acquisition provided Lithium with valuable artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities but Klout as a standalone service is not aligned with our long-term strategy," said Pete Hess, CEO of Lithium Technologies, in a note on the company's website. "Our goal with these AI and machine learning investments is to improve our customer care capabilities across the board, whether that's self-service, peer-to-peer, or direct-to-brand." ~ adage.com
    2. 📰 The San Francisco-based startup, which had raised around $40 million in funding from some big-name investors, was acquired by social customer service company Lithium Technologies for a reported $200 million back in 2014.

    1. 📰 Shyp is now a casualty of the delivery space. Where it originally sought to make up the cost of delivery in the form of cheaper bulk costs for those deliveries, Shyp’s one-size-fits-all delivery — where you could deliver a computer or a bike — eventually ended up being one of the most challenging and frustrating elements of its business. It began adding fees to its online returns business and changing prices for its bulk shipments. ~ techcrunch.com

  7. addons-mozilla.org ChromeFoxified

    Run any Chrome Extension directly in Firefox

    🚀Sep 2002 - ⚰Feb 2018

    Lifespan: over 15 years

    Reason: Developers commonly do this because they no longer support the extension or theme, or have replaced it. Mozilla removed it. This can happen when issues are found during the review of the extension or theme, or the extension or theme has been abusing the terms and conditions for addons.mozilla.org. The developer has the opportunity to resolve the issues and make the add-on available again.

Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky said in December of 2016 that the company was “looking to create more flexible ways for groups of friends to pay”. They were apparently interested more in the Tilt team’s expertise in international payments than in the Tilt product itself. ~ dccu.us
