x.ai is being acquired by Bizzabo, the industry-leading platform for virtual, in-person, and hybrid events.
…
There will be no changes or interruptions to the x.ai service you use today.

28 July 2021:

x.ai was acquired by Bizzabo… Together, we’ve decided to prioritize building x.ai’s powerful scheduling and recommendations directly into Bizzabo’s event management platform, which means that we have decided to shut down x.ai’s standalone scheduling tool.
…
For the last 7 years, you’ve trusted x.ai with your most valuable asset — your time. You’ve relied on us and it’s been a real honor to serve you.

(Thanks, Leo.)

7 February 2019:

Scroll is acquiring Nuzzel. We’re investing in keeping it running as an independent entity, and our first priority is not to screw that up, so don’t expect any major changes to the core service, beyond what we’re going to announce in this blog post.

4 May 2021:

Twitter announced today that they will be acquiring Scroll and this version of Nuzzel will be shutting down on May 6, 2021. However, Twitter has spun up an internal team of Nuzzel acolytes whose goal is to take the best of the Nuzzel experience and build it directly into Twitter.

Email to customers, 26 February 2021:

I have some important news to share - Chartio is joining Atlassian. …
Since our inception, Chartio has proudly empowered teams through data. …
The unfortunate impact here is that we will be shutting down the existing standalone Chartio product one year from now on March 1, 2022. It was a difficult decision, but our team needs to be singularly focused on the mission of delivering powerful cross-product analytics and visualization to the Atlassian platform.

(Thanks, Nabil Freeman.)
