Google has bought yet another start-up called Angstro.
Angstro was launched in 2008 that delivers news to users based on their social graph, by scanning through blog contents, news sites, and social sites.
Rohit Khare, founder of Angstro, bid farewell in a post on the company’s blog:
Salim and I would like to thank everyone who was part of the adventure — not least, the thousands of users and beta testers who helped define our products and inspired our whole team.
While our work here may be done, the struggle for open, interoperable social networks is still only just beginning, and I’m looking forward to working on that in my new role at Google.
This is the fourth acquisition Google has made in this month – social gaming company Slide, virtual currency maker Jambool, visual shopping engine Like.com, and now Angstro.
Apart from acquiring the start-ups and their technologies, Google has also been adding more talents in its pool.
Though Google’s has not confirmed, yet its actions only adds fuel to the speculations about Google building a Facebook-killer service dubbed as ‘GoogleMe.’
