Isn't Atlassian where products go to die? :)

Is this is an acquihire? Atlassian does not seem to have strategic overlap with making a browser in any meaningful way I can think of.

I think Atlassian is kind of trying to be the Lotus Notes of the 20s. If so, I can see why their upper management approved this acquisition.

Will anything good come out of it…? I could be wrong, but I seriously doubt it.

Brings back so many memories. I bought TEAM stock at $17 when they bought hipchat.

turned out to be a nice investment even though they killed the product.
