Yahoo Acquires Photography App Maker GhostBird Software

Another week, another Yahoo acquisition: This time, the Internet giant has acquired 4-year-old GhostBird Software, the San Francisco-based company behind mobile photography apps KitCam and PhotoForge2.

In an e-mailed statement, Yahoo said that it would be integrating many of the features in GhostBird's mobile apps into Yahoo's Flickr apps. Co-founders Travis Houlette and Ye Lu are joining the Flickr team in San Francisco.

Both KitCam and PhotoForge2 are being pulled from Apple's App Store, and no further updates for the apps will be released. Those who have already downloaded the apps will still be able to continue using them, however.
