Skype acquires developer of GroupMe

Skype acquires developer of GroupMe - GroupMe is one of those applications that gives us the ability to send messages to other mobile push with an Internet connection, style or BlackBerry Messenger WhatsApp (with respect to the latter peculiarity of GroupM is an application platform). It is now available on Android, IOS, Windows 7 Phone and BlackBerry OS, and its main attraction is being able to develop group conversations, hence its name.


Well, no one knows for sure yet nothing about the future of this interesting application, we have woken up today knowing that Skype has acquired the developer of GroupM, which is expected to integrate technology that enables the operation of application.

It is almost clear that the integration of the functions of GroupM in future updates to Skype will be a reality, but the operation lies a more interesting question: Is Microsoft looking for ways to develop their own native messaging system?

Remember that Microsoft bought the U.S. last May, the creators of Skype, with a view to the messaging service and voice over IP (VoIP) is integrated into the future of its operating platforms, whether desktop or mobile. That is why the news of the acquisition of GroupM is to lift more than a suspicion about Redmond's plans to improve and expand their roles in future smart phones.


In any case, as it was raised after the operation with Skype, GroupM is unlikely to withdraw the other application stores. That is why many bets placed their chips for the continuity of the services takes this application on Android, and BlackBerry OS IOS, printing special relevance when it comes to develop improvements in Windows Terminal Phone 7. However, until they begin to manifest the changes, nothing is confirmed by the Skype / Microsoft.
