Please keep updating this as you learn what's happening. Salesforce is opaque at the moment.

There's also a company based on the book, https://emyth.com

The new logo looks like a spaceship ... they are preparing for selling trips into orbit.

Great example of this is Sliderocket.com (powered by a very complex Flash slide editor/interface), recently purchased by ClearSlide. My guess (with no inside knowledge whatsoever) is that SlideRocket was looking at an expensive tech transformation to move up to current standards and fix all the annoying technical debt they've accumulated along the way. (It's extensive: I'm a customer, their platform is buggy and dated.)

Instead they got acquired by ClearSlide.

Tynan and friends, congrats. First thought: build cool treehouses.

[PS Tynan: Hope this HN juice finally gets you accepted into YCombinator.]

You can feel the gears of innovation grinding to a halt - giving way to a streamlined operation profiting on Steve's brand equity for a few years.

Wow, can't believe they took such a big step backwards. Purple w/ black shadow and bevel ... this must have been a decision by committee.

The design looks nice at first glance - but when I tried to figure out what you actually do, how you deliver on your promise, I was just confused. You're very features-first. Would love it if you started your copy and iconography with benefits and then talked about the features that support them.

Sounds like you're making a strategic choice for a period of time ... but is that really what you'll be doing in 10 years?

I second this, http://chargify.com has many more features than Braintree, Spreedly, and Recurly. Also, they work with international merchant accounts/gateways.
