In April 2010, Facebook quickly swooped in and bought the Y Combinator-backed Divvyshot when they were in the midst of raising an angel round of funding. The reason why was clear: the small team had created a cool site for sharing photos with groups, something Facebook was going to be focusing on. But it was a pure talent acqusition, Facebook's speciality. And it was founder Sam Odio in particular that they were interested in. That's why it's surprising that now, just over a year later, he's leaving Facebook. We heard the news today and reached out to Facebook to confirm. But I think they're mad at us for some reason. No matter, Odio's own going-away party page on Facebook confirms the move. (We've also reached out to Odio about why he's leaving and what he's up to next, but have yet to hear back.)
