Vizify, a startup that specialises in creating interactive infographics and
videos of users' social media data has been acquired by Yahoo. The details of
the acquisition were not disclosed. Vizify's services will be shut down
following the acquisition.
"As
part of our transition to Yahoo, we will no longer be allowing new signups or
purchases of paid plans. We will also be sunsetting the Vizify service, "
Vizify said in an email to users. Vizify that was founded in June 2011 is based
in Portland.
An
announcement posted on the Vizify website gives a vague idea of what the future
holds for the Vizify team at Yahoo. "As for what's next, we can't talk
specifics just yet, but we're excited to bring a more visual approach to data
at Yahoo."
Vizify is
no longer allowing new signups or purchases of paid plans and says that
"for all bioholders, free and paid, we'll be providing a way for you to
opt-in to 'archive' a snapshot of your current bio that will remain live at the
same URL through September 4, 2014."
Vizify is
Yahoo's 37th acquisition since new CEO Marissa Mayer took charge in July 2012.
