Facebook Acquires Online Utility App Company Onavo
Announced just yesterday it’s making tech headlines around the web as Facebook steps into the analytics game with recent purchase of Onavo, the application powerhouse that turns your data plan into a real-time numbers game. Giving you in-depth data regarding your phone’s data caps and holes, it’s a question of what Facebook is planning to do with this asset. Onavo wrapped everything up in a nice minimalistic interface for you to consume and cross-analyze, essentially making it the app’s app for showing you how you’re doing on the web, and what you can change to be even better. Sounds like Facebook might be adding a new branch of services to their brand, and with Onavo’s Tel-Aviv offices transforming into Facebook’s new Israeli office, it could be rolling out sooner than think.
