Some three months after being acquired by Google, Bump — a company that makes data sharing tools — is calling it quits. In a blog post today Bump CEO and cofounder David Lieb said that Bump and Flock will be shut down on January 31, 2014 given that the team working on it are now deeply focused on our new projects within Google. After that date, the apps will be removed from Apples App Store, as well as Google Play, Lieb says, but not before users have 30 days to export their data. Bump came onto the scene in early 2009 with a way to let smartphone users share data like contact cards and photos with one another by physically bumping their phones together. Bump later spun that feature out as its own payment app before turning its attention to photos with Flock, a service that would pull together photos from different devices into a single album.
