furlがlooksmartに買収された

furllooksmartに買収された。サービスも今まで通りで,無料であることも変わりないとのこと。

First of all, we don't really think of this as "selling out." We are now employees of LookSmart and are still working on Furl every day (we just have a lot more help). The primary reason we sold the company was that we have always believed Furl makes the most sense as part of a larger search offering. We negotiated with several large public search companies and ultimately chose LookSmart. We truly believe this acquisition is in the best interest of our members and of the long-term longevity of the service. We use Furl, too, and want it to continue to grow for many years to come.
