Author: According to a report(now confirmed) in TechCrunch, Google has acquired a social search service start-up, Aardvark, for around $50 Million. Google should make an official announcement today.
Aardvark is an interesting new service founded by two ex-Google employees that taps into the social network collective knowledge by allowing a user to post a question and get answers from their friends or their friend’s friends. Aardvark has received around $6Million in VC funding so far (to be specific, $750k in Angel funding in 2007 and $5.25m in VC funding in 2008)
