Microsoft acquires Talko . But Why?

2 points| chintan39 | 10 years ago | reply

I just checked the Talko's Android app , they just have 1000-5000 downloads. Looking at the features and UI,there are far more better apps. Then why Talko?

Cheaper than recruiting the engineers individually? I didn't see terms but if it's small, it could be a bargain to get the team and tech and roll it into Skype. Also, the better apps might not have been for sale.
