If anyone is interested in an analysis of TransferWise's business, I wrote a blog post on it last weekend: http://www.staylor.st/p2p-money-transfers/

Scary thing is, he is now Principal Analyst at Forrester Research.

"Lead analyst covering all aspects of consumer mobility and the digital home. Responsible for a continuous stream of research and strategic advice to leaders at Fortune 1000 companies."

I cancelled my subscription one month ago. Was a user for 4/5 years.

There will be a lot of graphs that don't look great around the operations team. I wonder how much of an impact each minute that the service is down has on their uptime %.

I can't tweet about twitter being down!?

Next best thing, post to HN.

Down in London, UK.

Yep, was just about to submit. London, UK.

Looks good, I'll try to make it!

Erm what? Anyone care to explain this in layman's terms?

$118,000,000

Quite a large transaction (and with no fees)!

SEEKING FREELANCER - Remote

I'm looking for someone who's pretty proficient in Objective-C and native iOS applications (as well as Parse SDK). I'm an intermediate developer but would really appreciate someone's help to help me push a project to the finish line.

My email address is in my profile. Please get in touch if you have any questions. Thanks so much.

A bit of pressure on #FloodHack to come up with something useful tomorrow.

There are plenty of examples in which he has responded.

Well there goes my spacebar from ferociously whacking it.

Great work Facebook, you've remained relevant and certainly made the world more connected. Looking forward to seeing what you do over the next 10 years. True poster-child for startups and what they can accomplish.

This is actually pretty awesome. Good work Facebook.

It just seems a bit melodramatic. Should Google Mail have been named Google Post, just because Yahoo Mail was first? They aren't operating in the same space; furthermore, Facebook didn't name it just "Paper" in the App Store, they've named it "Paper - stories from Facebook".

That doesn't make any sense.

Can both not exist? I don't see how there could be overlap or confusion from potential customers.

Great thread!

So you've pretty much just ripped off Luna?

What do we get for $30?

+1 on London, we have a vibrant startup scene with a lot of support. I know quite a few Italian developers that I could introduce you too that have moved here. Shoot me an email through the link in my profile.

Haha yep, keep up the great work!

Wait, I thought they were already in the billion dollar club. Regardless, the cash should help against PayPal.

Why is this at the top of HN?

Makes sense, I love the Branch product but seems they never really got enough traction to make it a buzzing place of conversation & interaction. Will be interesting to see what happens with the product within FB.. will it be largely a talent acquisition or does FB really believe in what Josh and the team were building.

That's pretty awesome, but would really like to connect with actual people :)

Plenty of newspapers cope with this; however, I have to say the individual article pages look great.

Still seems very busy to me.
