Dodgeball.com Acquired By Google

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Smartphones, Internet

I have been messing around with Dodgeball.com for a couple of weeks in the Seattle area, and I think the service is pretty cool. I haven’t done much more than test it, but I like the idea behind it. Apparently Google liked it to - so much so that they have acquired the company, making Dodgeball.com the thirteenth company that Google has picked up. If you are unfamiliar with Dodgeball’s service, it is simple. Sign up is free, and you are then able to send a text message to yourcity@dodgeball.com whenever you are somewhere that you want to meet people. For example, if I am at Pike’s Place Market hanging out, I can text seattle@dodgeball.com with the message @pikes place. Now anyone on my contact list that happens to be in a 10 block radius will get an email and/or text message which says “Andru is at Pikes Place”. Very cool. Dodgeball is available in most major cities. Congrats to Google for picking this one up.
