Just as the tech press was 
busy talking about 
the first academic paper on acqui-hires, another acqui-hire deal closed, with online ad company 
AppNexus acquiring fantasy sports startup 
Fantuition.  Co-founder and CEO Pat McCarty announced the deal in 
a blog post that also recounts some of Fantuition's history and discusses McCarty's feelings about being acqui-hired (or, as he spells it, "acqhired", because no one can agree on the spelling of this awkward, awkward word) ? in other words, getting acquired by another company just so that they can hire your team, while your product gets shut down.
