Facebook acquires App Store's #6 app 💰
This newsletter was brought to you byDigitalOceanFacebook acquires App Store's #6 app 💰
Yesterday, Josh Constine broke the news that Facebook acquired tbh, the anonymous app where teens send each other compliments.
First reaction: that was fast! But it comes as no surprise, the app was going viral with the teens and became the #1 app in the App Store last month. As of today, tbh is just under Facebook in the #6 spot – quite impressive for a 9-week old app.
A quick snapshot of the App Store charts does show just how powerful Facebook is in the app world. Mark Zuckerberg and team deserve a lot of credit for acquisitions like Instagram, Oculus, and WhatsApp, and time will tell if tbh becomes as meaningful as those ones. Although, it's certainly a fun app you should try.
P.S. Mark Zuckerberg's most notable skill may also be Evan Spiegel's most underrated assets.

DigitalOcean Deploy is a one-day event focused on what happens when AI hits production. Latency, throughput, cost per token, reliability — all the things that show up the second something hits production.
There will be a fireside chat with NVIDIA’s Kari Briski on agentic AI. Teams from Character, Workato, VAST Data, Arcee, and the vLLM ecosystem will be there breaking down how they are actually running inference at scale plus a first look at what DigitalOcean is building next.
April 28 in San Francisco. Free to attend.
