New Delhi: Vizify, a startup that specialises in creating interactive infographics and videos of users' social media data has been acquired by Yahoo. The details of the acquisition were not disclosed. Vizify's services will be shut down following the acquisition.

"As part of our transition to Yahoo, we will no longer be allowing new signups or purchases of paid plans. We will also be sunsetting the Vizify service, " Vizify said in an email to users. Vizify that was founded in June 2011 is based in Portland.

An announcement posted on the Vizify website gives a vague idea of what the future holds for the Vizify team at Yahoo. "As for what's next, we can't talk specifics just yet, but we're excited to bring a more visual approach to data at Yahoo."

Vizify is no longer allowing new signups or purchases of paid plans and says that "for all bioholders, free and paid, we'll be providing a way for you to opt-in to 'archive' a snapshot of your current bio that will remain live at the same URL through September 4, 2014."
