Camera+ Turned Down Acquisitions From Adobe, Google, Twitter; Also Says F*ck The VCs
Two years ago, app developer tap tap tap launched Camera+ onto the App Store. For only a buck, users could get way more mileage out of the mobile photography experience, bringing 27 color effects and granular controls to their iPhone cameras.

So popular, in fact, that Camera+ rang in its second birthday today with its 8 millionth download, tap tap tap founder John Casasanta said in a blog post. As part of the celebration, Casasanta reflected on his company's journey over the past two years. In his post, he reveals that tap tap tap received a handful of acquisition offers from several notable names: "It started with Adobe, then went to Zynga (for The Heist, not really for Camera+), then Google. And most recently, Twitter." And he had a word or two for VCs, too.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/EeWl5_lUc1k/
