On The Heels Of Hiring Skypes Former Strategy Boss, Urban Airship Hits 10 Billion Notifications Pushed
Urban Airship has been working pretty hard of late to plant itself firmly on the "Startups to Watch" list. The Portland and San Francisco-based startup, a platform provider that gives developers a simple way to build in-app purchases and push notifications into their mobile apps, grabbed some media attention when it acquired SimpleGeo back in October for $3 million. As SimpleGeo provided location-based services and data to mobile developers, the acquisition made a lot of sense for Urban Airship, providing a complement to its push notifications focus; and given the early hype around SimpleGeo, it was a bargain. (Plus, there was the added benefit of getting the founders as advisors.)Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/7lh96oMavkY/
