Pinterest Acquires Team Behind Fleksy; To Open Source Some Technology Designed For Blind (fleksy.com)
Pinterest has acquired the team behind the smart keyboard app Fleksy, it announced on Wednesday. The app will remain operational for the foreseeable future, the company adds, but the app update frequency will become minimal. What's interesting about the acquisition is that Pinterest says that it will be open-sourcing some of its components specialized for the blind and visually impaired. Fleksy made headlines four years ago when it launched its keyboard app for blind users in the iOS App Store, long before Apple supported third-party keyboards.
Why would Pinterest, essentially a social bookmarking site, acquire a company focused on typing? What blind person would have interest in Pinterest? I don't meant to be harsh, but a core area of Pinterest is the thumbnails... Sounds more like they're just buying shit to run into the ground.
