Yahoo is acquiring social web browsing company Rockmelt, the two companies announced today. But the move seems to be bad news for current Rockmelt users, as the company's four apps (iPhone, iPad, Android, and Windows 8) will be summarily shut down in less than a month — August 31st. Rockmelt is giving users until then to export their data. Not surprisingly, the company also isn't accepting any new users as of today. But it did praise users for sticking with it through ups and downs, saying: "You’ve taught us a ton. And we plan to put everything we’ve learned to work at Yahoo!."
