Google continues to buy various companies whose line of business (and technology) may be useful to Google’s business. The other day it became known about Google’s acquisition of a small company SocialGrapple, whose profile is the creation of analytical software products for working with all kinds of social resources, most of them with social networks. Unfortunately, the transaction value has not been announced.
Before the purchase by Google, the developers of SocialGrapple were engaged in the creation of various programs for analyzing a number of data from the microblogging service Twitter. Based on the data collected, SocialGrapple designs create statistical selections for different types of data. For example, software from SocialGrapple allows you to track the dynamics of followers, compare different types of follower accounts, plus perform a number of tasks (for example, track the number of follower tweets).
Right hereYou can look at one of the reports compiled by the SocialGrapple software product. It is likely that the SocialGrapple achievements will be used by the corporation for its own needs, for example, for integration with Google plus. But it’s not yet clear how the developers of this social resource will use the SocialGrapple software products. However, this may be a “just in case” acquisition, and SocialGrapple technologies will be used in the future.
Interestingly, SocialGrapple was launched just a year ago. The author of this project is Andrei Petrov. It may well be that the purpose of the purchase is to include Petrov in the ranks of the corporation's employees, where he will be developing specialized statistical tools for Google plus.
