i like how nobody here talks about the real losers - the picnik user/customers.
these exits practically always kill your original product, which is the ultimate fuck you to the user base that got you there to begin with.
that's why it's amazing to see companies like dropbox, box, etc to stick to their guns (so far) and not throw away everything they worked for.
the whole web startup concept seems broken. it's not about real solutions and sustainable businesses, but rather a giant get rich quick scheme. just need some suckers to fall for it.
