Backflip status:

"In September, Backflip was acquired by a small group of individuals dedicated to preserving the Backflip website. When Backflip's parent company realigned its business objectives, rather than shut it down or sell to a competitor, they gave us the opportunity to take over the service. We couldn't be more pleased.

Who are we? We are a small team of ex-Backflip employees, who, even though we no longer work there, still love the Backflip service and would like to see it survive (and thrive!)."
