Google Buys Meebo

Google has acquired Meebo to bring more tools to Google Plus, an alternative to Facebook. The Meebo geeks will now join the Google+ team.

Meebo started as a system for connecting people by instant message but has since built other communication features used by an audience of about 100 million Web people in the U.S.


Both companies are based in Mountain View, Calif. Financial terms of the deal weren't disclosed.

"Together with Google, we're super jazzed to roll up our sleeves ad get cracking on even bigger and better ways to help users and website owners alike," Meebo wrote in a Monday blog post
