This is the most revealing part of the press release. The founders wanted to cash out. Let's not pretend this acquisition has everyone's best interests at heart. It only benefits GoDaddy and MT's founders, everyone else gets to witness the end of MT.

They're sticking with virb. Check out http://blog.virb.com/post/64122176288/big-news-from-virb

This right here is the real story, I'm guessing. Can't say I blame them either. They probably wanted to move on and needed a soft landing spot for (mt). So after months of shopping around, GoDaddy perhaps made the sweetest deal.

Congrats to Virb and the founders next chapter there! This is the first I've heard of it and it sounds like a pretty neat service.

And good luck the team left at (mt) for managing what is going to be quite a storm of negative sentiment and customer departures.

Not so coincidentally placed at the end of the FAQ. But I'm certain they've both sacrificed a lot throughout the years. That's almost 16 non-stop years of running MT. It's a well deserved break in my opinion.
