Googleball

Google acquires Dodgeball, a two-person mobile social networking startup.

More details from Michael Bazeley and Gary Price.

Update: About two years later, both the founder and the second employee of Dodgeball leave Google, saying:

It's no real secret that Google wasn't supporting dodgeball the way we expected. The whole experience was incredibly frustrating for us.

Perhaps Google is not as proficient at handling these small acquisitions as they claim to be.
