Facebook to boost its smartphone experience with Glancee
It seems world’s largest social network, Facebook is planning to boost its smartphone experience with mobile offerings. Following its buy of Instagram, company has further fattened its mobile portfolio by acquiring Glancee, a location-based, “social discovery” that shows users when Facebook friends, friends-of-Facebook-friends and people with similar interests are nearby.
Glancee, founded in 2010, includes three co-founders, Andrea Vaccari, Alberto Tretti and Gabriel Grise. Facebook said in a statement, “We can’t wait for co-founders Andrea, Alberto, and Gabriel to join the Facebook team to work on products that help people discover new places and share them with friends.”
Glancee, Facebook latest acquisition
On its website, the Glancee team writes:
We started Glancee in 2010 with the goal of bringing together the best of your physical and digital worlds. We wanted to make it easy to discover the hidden connections around you, and to meet interesting people. Since then Glancee has connected thousands of people, empowering serendipity and pioneering social discovery.
We are therefore very excited to announce that Facebook has acquired Glancee and that we have joined the team in Menlo Park to build great products for over 900 million Facebook users. We’ve had such a blast connecting people through Glancee, and we truly thank our users for being a part of the Glancee community.
