Skype acquista GroupMe

Spread the love

Il team di Skype ha annunciato sul proprio sito ufficiale di aver completato l’acquisizione di GroupMe, startup resasi famosa nell’industria della comunicazione mobile da poco più di un anno grazie alle sue interessanti funzionalità.

GroupMe offre infatti servizi che permettono agli utenti di creare in maniera rapida ed immediata gruppi di amici esclusivi attraverso i propri smartphone e comunicare così con estrema semplicità con tutti i componenti tramite i canonici messaggi di testo. 

L’amministratore delegato di Skype, Tony Bates, ha spiegato prevedibilmente che tali strumenti saranno utilizzati in futuro per essere integrati con le tecnologie di comunicazione già offerte dal celebre servizio di client VoIP, anche se le possibili soluzioni in tal senso, volte a trovare punti di contatto tra i due servizi, saranno valutate con calma nelle prossime settimane.

GroupMe infatti continuerà ad esistere, almeno inizialmente, come servizio completamente autonomo (fatta eccezione ovviamente per la proprietà adesso nelle mani di Skype, quindi potenzialmente – anti-trust permettendo – di Microsoft) con il passaggio definitivo alla piattaforma Skype che avverrà con calma e quasi “in silenzio” man mano che i tecnici del gruppo del client trovino il modo di far coesistere i due servizi.

Un’acquisizione di questo tipo va vista sotto diversi aspetti. In particolare, si pensi a come Skype vuole evidentemente estendere i propri servizi a più piattaforme possibile, e l’acquisto di realtà emergenti come GroupMe, certo contribuisce a creare una formazione di servizi differenti tra loro ma comunque in grado di giungere allo stesso obiettivo: la comunicazione testuale o video con dispositivi elettronici portatili o fissi.

Non sono noti al momento i dettagli ufficiali della trattativa che ha portato GroupMe tra le “braccia” di Skype. Si parla di un accordo raggiunto su una cifra che oscilla dai 50 e gli 85 milioni di dollari, ma si attende probabilmente il via libera da parte dell’anti-trust per l’accordo con Microsoft prima di comunicare i numeri definitivi dell’affare.

  6. Together with everything that appears to be building inside this particular area, many of your points of view are fairly stimulating. On the other hand, I appologize, because I can not give credence to your entire suggestion, all be it exciting none the less. It seems to everybody that your opinions are actually not entirely rationalized and in fact you are your self not really completely confident of your argument. In any event I did appreciate examining it.

  9. I was wondering if you ever considered changing the structure of your blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or 2 images. Maybe you could space it out better?

  10. First of all I would like to say wonderful blog!
    I had a quick question which I’d like to ask if you do not mind.
    I was curious to find out how you center yourself and clear your head prior to writing.
    I’ve had a hard time clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out there.
    I truly do take pleasure in writing but it just
    seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be wasted just trying to figure
    out how to begin. Any ideas or hints? Many thanks!
