It will change the way we publish and share visual information.

While there already are popular photo services (such as twitpic.com), none of them really evolved. None of them leveraged the dynamics and information flow of Twitter.

img.ly want to change that. Given their knowledge with photo platforms, they want to offer more sophisticated approach to publishing photos and images and constantly enhance the service to the needs of the community.

And yes, img.ly saves you some characters for your tweets

Two years ago, we started friend.ly to enhance your social networking experience by creating a fun, easy way to express yourself and meet new people by answering questions.

Since then, we’ve seen you compliment each other, ask poignant questions, and tell the world more about the “real” you. The you who could survive with only a copy of Atlas Shrugged on a desert island. The you who has memorized every word of every episode of Dexter. And the you who yearns to meet more people who also love tennis, find ice cream to be therapeutic, and think existentialism is fascinating.

All of you have answered millions of questions, and today we’d like to answer the following question for you: “What’s next for friend.ly?”

Our answer: friend.ly has been acquired by Facebook.

We’re excited about this because we feel the spirit of friend.ly aligns well with Facebook’s vision, and we’re thrilled to be joining such an innovative company. The friend.ly team will be focusing on new projects at Facebook, but friend.ly will continue to operate as a separate service until January 31st, 2012.
