After proving its worth in search and online advertising, Google is reportedly expanding its capabilities for instant sharing of web pages using social networks. According to latest chunk of information, Google has agreed to buy the online messaging firm Meebo.
If reports are to be believed, Google is likely to spend about $100 million on its latest acquisition.
Trusted aides informed our team, California-based Meebo offers software service that facilitates users to share pages on social networking sites, including Facebook and Google+. This will ultimately allow publishers and advertisers to promote their products in an interactive way.
As a matter of concern, it is found, Meebo is a privately held company which claims to reach almost half the US Internet population with the help of "Meebo bar" which allows users to click to comment or share a Web page using a social network.
It must be intresting to know; the Meebo bar can be customized and added to any page without modifying the programming codes of a website.
A representative from Google has shared his views in a blog post, Google always look for better ways to help users to share content and connect with others across the web, just as they do in real life.
Further he added, the company is happy to announce that Meebo has entered into an agreement to be acquired by Google.
