It looks like Google Me preparations are ramping up. The search giant has completed its acquisition of Plannr, a social planning startup that looks like a perfect fit to be absorbed into Google Me. While Google already has Google Calendar, Plannr is a little different, tying together groups of friends using geolocation, email, text messages and phone calls. The whole point of it is to make organising socialising simper. There’s also a good chance that Google gobbled up Plannr for its two founders, expanding the talents on hand to create Google Me.
Plannr has emailed its current users explaining that it’s shutting down and canning their information in 30 days time. Luckily for them they can export the data so that’s no big loss and it certainly jibes well with the idea that Plannr’s smarts might be included in Google Me. Eric Schmidt confirmed last month that the Google Me launch will happen this autumn.
