Update: Yappd co-founder Brendan Lim has informed us that the deal for its acquisition will be more of a merger, rather than a relaunch.
Yappd, the visual Twitter clone, has been acquired by an unnamed third party, for an undisclosed amount.
From the looks of it, Yappd will be wholly acquired and fully integrated into the services of the company that's buying it, so this acquisition looks to be primarily for technology purposes. To that end, Yappd as you know it will be shut down on November 5, and will be reincarnated elswhere, as an integrated solution for a larger entity. See our initial review of Yappd here.
