While Twitter has not confirmed the news itself, the company has apparently acquired Ubalo, a “scalable computation” startup. <\/p>\n
The news appears to have been broken by TechCrunch<\/a>, and Ubalo has posted the following message on its homepage: <\/p>\n We\u2019ve got some exciting news: The Ubalo team is joining Twitter. In early 2011, we started Ubalo to make large-scale computing easier and more accessible to a technical audience, and we\u2019ve had a great time working with our partners and customers on a number of interesting products. When we met the infrastructure folks at Twitter, we realized that it\u2019s a company with brilliant people, strong momentum, exciting challenges and a promising future. We quickly became enthusiastic about the possibility of collaborating with them and the impact we could have there.<\/p>\n A few days ago, Twitter agreed to acquire our technology and we agreed to join their staff. We look forward to working with Twitter in the years to come.<\/p>\n Thanks for your support and interest in Ubalo!<\/em><\/p>\n TechCrunch says Twitter declined to “officially” comment on the deal. <\/p>\n We’ve got some exciting news: The Ubalo team is joining Twitter.
