The company says "NO" on Twitter: https://twitter.com/#!/punchd/status/89450652601819136
Well, technically it says, "have NOT been" as opposed to "are not going to be". Doesn't mean they aren't "talking" about a potential acquisition.
But, a status post like that does lead one to believe they are neither talking about, nor have been acquired.
Or, maybe they're just trying some reverse psychology, who really knows other than the parties involved! ;)

This seems to be the first company from the 500 Startups accelerator program to be acquired. Other companies from the 500 Startups seed fund have previously been acquired, like BackType and CardMunch.
It’s been a great week for 500 Startups, which has now sold a company to Twitter (BackType), LinkedIn (CardMunch) and Google.
Isn't the CardMunch deal months old?
