Google has again acquired a company for its new product. This time, its a daily deal company The DealMap. This can be confirmed by the official blog of The DealMap. The terms of the deal were not made public.
The Dealmap announced on its blog,”We’re thrilled to announce that The Dealmap has been acquired by Google.”
“In our first year alone, The Dealmap grew to more than two million users of our web, mobile, social and email products, and more than 85 million monthly visitors to our partner network,” the company added.
“We believe Google provides the ideal platform to help us accelerate our growth and fulfill our mission,” it said.
The Dealmap shows deals and offers aggregated from a number of sources on a map to show the user where exactly these offers are around him. So it is easy for google to fit it in Google maps.
It’s unclear how Google will integrate The Dealmap, whether it will continue to build on it, or just assimilate the team. For now, the site will live on and will continue to function like it does today.
