[–] davidu 15y ago ↗ The company says "NO" on Twitter: https://twitter.com/#!/punchd/status/89450652601819136 [–] thankuz 15y ago ↗ Well, technically it says, "have NOT been" as opposed to "are not going to be". Doesn't mean they aren't "talking" about a potential acquisition.But, a status post like that does lead one to believe they are neither talking about, nor have been acquired.Or, maybe they're just trying some reverse psychology, who really knows other than the parties involved! ;)

[–] geekfactor 15y ago ↗ It’s been a great week for 500 Startups, which has now sold a company to Twitter (BackType), LinkedIn (CardMunch) and Google.Isn't the CardMunch deal months old?
