New Skype acquisition: GroupMe

Skype has just announced that they have purchased the company GroupMe, the creators behind a group messaging application of the same name that is currently available on many smartphone platforms.

 

The purchase will give Skype direct access to the group messaging software produced by GroupMe.

 

Skype has been recently been purchased by Microsoft and this latest acquistion could allow for even deeper Skype integration on Windows devices in the future.

 

GroupMe is currently offered on iOS, Android, BlackBerry and Windows Phone devices.  The group messaging application can be used over a data connection so devices such as the iPod Touch can get in on the fun.
