Here is why Onavo joined the Facebook team yesterday!
The stakes
around and at core of online data are phenomenal, in terms of business
opportunities, Applications, demographic studies and more. This reality is the
core of Facebook business. Therefore all that can help this company to harness
deeply the data of its members is welcome. In this dynamic, Facebook after having failed
to buy Waze, has
acquired Onavo.
For those who unfamiliar, Connectikpeople may recall that, Onavo develops mobile
utility apps based on real engagement data. Their service aims to help people
save money through more efficient use of data, and also helps developers, large
and small, design better experiences for people.
This means Facebook will henceforth be able to make efficient use of data
from its members.
Under the terms of agreement, Onavo continues running the Onavo mobile
utility apps as a standalone brand. Onavo’s Tel-Aviv office will remain open
for business and will become Facebook’s new Israeli office.
