"Twitter tells us that Smyte will wind down its operations with those customers – it didn’t acquire Smyte for its revenue-generation potential, but rather for its talent and IP."

By winding down operations did they mean sending an email less than an hour before shutting off services?

man alive, an irresponsible approach to shutting down a SaaS like this is exactly why infrastructure startups face an uphill battle getting folks to adopt them.
