"IndexTank says that LinkedIn has agreed to maintain the IndexTank service running for the next six months"

So, the Heroku plugin goes away and customers like Reddit have to make other arrangements. Interesting that they would shut down a viable business - I don't understand that.

Wow, we were thinking about integrating with IndexTank. Glad we didn't.

Yeah, we had decided to go that way too, but now I don't know. Congrats to the team, and I'll be interested to see what they open source.

The Heroku plugin will not go away, neither will the IndexTank service if everything goes as planned.

Pre-acquisition and post-acquisition are two different worlds. Unless there is a direct connection to LinkedIn's business model it's hard to believe IndexTank's offerings won't be radically transformed in the next year.
