This is a real shame, because I just started using Divvyshot (first event: birth of my daughter on March 8) and I really, really liked it.
It filled a great niche. A year ago, a bunch of friends and family and I went on vacation, and we all talked about trying to set up some kind of photo sharing spot where we could see each other's photos, but it never happened. Divvyshot, though, fit that bill.
Facebook doesn't do that for me, so I've downloaded the photos and will be deleting this event. I realize that getting bought out is a positive thing for the founders, but it can be a negative thing for your users, and it certainly feels that way to me. Bit of a letdown.
All that aside: great product, and best of luck to you guys in the future.
I'm curious... what is it, specifically, that you want from your friends-and-family photo sharing that Facebook doesn't offer? I can't figure it out from your description.
