Google has acquired Bump, the makers of the app of the same name that allows you to share information between phones by bumping them together.
Bump co-founder and CEO David Lieb said “Our mission at Bump has always been to build the simplest tools for sharing the information you care about with other people and devices. We strive to create experiences that feel like magic, enabled behind the scene with innovations in math, data processing, and algorithms. So we couldn’t be more thrilled to join Google, a company that shares our belief that the application of computing to difficult problems can fundamentally change the way that we interact with one another and the world.”
Bump and Flock will continue to work as they always have for now; stay tuned for future updates.
