GitHub has acquired Ordered List. Ordered List has designed several products such as Speaker Deck, Gaug.es, and Harmony. Ordered List is joining GitHub because they believe that they are one of the best software companies in the world. Not much will change at Ordered List as a result of the acquisition, but the company expects better and more frequent updates of their software. [Ordered List Blog]

Jaisen Mathai used to work as an engineer at Yahoo, and has left the company to start his own photo service. The service is called OpenPhoto, and Mathai has been securing funding through Kickstarter because, as TechCrunch notes, photo apps have not been popular with venture funding lately. Mathai believes that users should be in control of their photos and that any uploaded photos are the property of that person and not of the company. As a result, OpenPhoto lets users choose what service they use as a cloud data storage provider.
