Keren, Instapaper diakuisisi Pinterest

Instapaper kembali perpindah kepemilikan, kali ini Instapaper scara resmi menjadi milik Pinterest.

Instapaper diakuisisi Pinterest


Pada awalnya, Instapaper dibuat oleh Marco Arment yang kemudian dibeli betaworks.  3 tahun kemudian, yaitu sekarang, Instapaper kembali berpindah kantor, kali ini dibeli Pinterest.

Jika anda belum mengenal Instapaper, adalah sebuah aplikasi save for later, yaitu sebuah aplikasi yang berguna untuk menyimpan sebuah link (mirip dengan bookmark) beserta kontennya sehingga dapat di baca secara offline diwaktu kemudian.

Meskipun sudah menjadi milik Pinterest, akan tetapi mereka tetap  menjadi bahwa aplikasi Instapaper akan tetap ada, dengan kata lain tidak akan ditutup (setidaknya sampai tulisan ini saya tulis). Jadi meskipun Instapaper sudah berpindah tangan, akan tetapi untuk end user tidak ada yang berubah.

Berikut ini adalah pernyataan resmi dari Instapaper.
Today, we’re excited to announce that Instapaper is joining Pinterest. In the three years since betaworks acquired Instapaper from Marco Arment, we’ve completely rewritten our backend, overhauled our mobile and web clients, improved parsing and search, and introduced tons of great features like highlights, text-to-speech, and speed reading to the product.
All of these features and developments revolved around the core mission of Instapaper, which is allowing our users to discover, save, and experience interesting web content. In that respect, there is a lot of overlap between Pinterest and Instapaper. Joining Pinterest provides us with the additional resources and experience necessary to achieve that shared mission on a much larger scale.
Instapaper provides a compelling source for news-based content, and we’re excited to take those learnings to Pinterest’s discovery products. We’ll also be experimenting with using our parsing technology for certain Rich Pin types.
For you, the Instapaper end user and customer, nothing changes. The Instapaper team will be moving from betaworks in New York City to Pinterest’s headquarters in San Francisco, and we’ll continue to make Instapaper a great place to save and read articles.
As we focus on the future of the user experience, we’ll be sunsetting our developer product, Instaparser. Starting today, we will cease signups for Instaparser and halt billing for existing customers. In order to ensure a smooth transition for current users, we will keep Instaparser running until November 1, 2016.
Lastly, and most importantly, we want to thank all of our readers for your support throughout the years. Whether you supported us back when Marco built and ran Instapaper, from the betaworks acquisition, or just found out about us recently, we truly appreciate your continued support and look forward to bringing you the same great product at Pinterest.
