Buffer Acquires ShareFeed

[Techtaffy Newsdesk]

Buffer has acquired rival company ShareFeed. The terms of the deal were not disclosed. Hiten Shah, founder of Sharefeed, as well as CEO of KISSmetrics is also coming on board Buffer as a mentor and advisor. Currently, ShareFeed stands disabled. “We will most likely keep ShareFeed running for another few weeks and then close down the service so we can stay laser focused on Buffer,” says Leo Widrich, co-founder of Buffer.

Leo Widrich (Co-founder, Buffer): Our aim is to focus on building the single best Social Sharing tool.

Buffer is a service that lets users schedule tweets or Facebook updates ahead of time.
