Microblogging platform Twitter has acquired employee and manager feedback startup Peer founded by former Salesforce chief operating officer George Hu, a media report said.

Peer appears to have already shut down following the deal -- the company's site no longer promotes or describes its service, VentureBeat reported on Saturday, adding the announcement was made by Peer on Friday.

Peer sought to reinvent performance reviews and create an environment where employees could monitor their performance continuously -- similar to how Uber drivers keep tabs on their rating from ride to ride.
