After many conversations with Facebook about how our two-party team can better collaborate to have a more far-reaching impact, we are announcing today that "the Storylane team will join the Facebook family".

This is a good opportunity. Facebook's mission is to connect the world, which has always been the focus of our work. Plus, like our Facebook friends, meaningful connectivity is the focus of our team.

You can use our services to save and share your moving stories in any way you wish. We will also develop tools that will help you move content to other services if you need it. As for more information on this tool, I will give more details in the future. But I can be sure that Facebook will not get any of your data information. Now we need to make sure that users can move their content in a more relaxed way.

Here, I need to thank our users. It is your passion, devotion and willingness to share that makes storylane able to have an unparalleled user experience today. We have learned so much from you, but your ideas and creativity will always be with us and continue to inspire us in the next phase of the company's journey.
