GOOGLE Buys Dodgeball.com,

MediaPost MediaDailyNews: "GOOGLE SAYS IT SNAPPED UP Dodgeball.com, a two-person start-up that created a mobile messaging service to enable users to alert friends as to where they're socializing. The service received plenty of buzz in New York City. The two guys who founded the company did so while they were New York University grad students. Dodgeball was uniquely promoted by the talented new media creative Doug Jaeger and his company, The Happy Corp. Dodgeball.com allows users to broadcast their location and send text messages to groups of friends. It can be used as a dating or hookup service, or just to let friends know which bar or party you're going to. It's the perfect social lubricant for 20-somethings and teens, those hard-to-reach, hard-to-target folks. "
