Twitter acquires news app Brief development team

Twitter acquired the development team behind the news app Brief. Brief is a news summary app. Its team has only 4 people. The projects they will develop next will support Spaces, Explore and other features. What are the specific terms of the transaction between the two parties?

A Twitter spokesperson did not say, but that the company did not acquire the Brief business, and the transaction is more like a talent acquisition, which means that Twitter just won the App development team.

The Brief application will be closed on July 31, and subscribers will see a series of changes starting from Tuesday. Recently, Twitter has frequently launched acquisitions. For example, in May, Twitter acquired Scroll, the subscription service that can remove ads from news sites; in January, Twitter also acquired the newsletter service Revue.
