Google Buys Schedule Management Startup Plannr
Basically a social calendar which allows you to group message your friends with plans, Plannr fits in with Google’s recent mobile and social acquiring spree (neatly tying the two together in fact), though I suspect this the two person startup is more a Google Me-related talent acquisition than anything else. In fact we actually commented on the startup’s overlap with Google calendar in our original post.
Plannr founders and former Microsoft employees Ben Eidelson and Jason Prado denied rumors of the acquisition to me over the weekend but refused to comment on whether or not they were in talks with the search behemoth. Google remains tight lipped as well.
Plannr is bootstrapped which means that whatever the undisclosed purchase price was, Eidelson and Prado must be somewhere celebrating hard, which is probably why they haven’t responded to my most recent email. Something tells me however that I’ll be hearing from them soon.
