Anyone know what the price was? Interesting that many of the yobongo team were on Scrapblog team before its assets were acquired by Mixbook last year.

Anyone know what the price was?

Not very much I'd guess. That article says the product is being shut down, so this is much more of a hiring-with-bonus than a "real" acquisition. Another article says the yobongo investors will become mixbook investors, so it's possible they didn't even recoup the original investment in cash: http://thenextweb.com/insider/2012/03/08/photo-book-company-...

Aren't Mixbook the jokers who tried to hire dhh for a Rails position?

From the description I didn't get what Yobongo does (or did); anyone care to explain?

It was like ICQ but only for people physically near you.
