TECH CRUNCH - Oct 17 - Urbantag produces a mobile app for discovering and sharing different local venues. The idea was to bookmark and curate real-world places, which created a type of social recommendations system for its users. Since being launched, Urbantag users have created ~150K posts about ~90K different places in 123 countries. The teams will be looking for ways to integrate that location and affinity data in with Tagged’s own offerings. Tagged has created a social network for connecting with existing friends, while also finding ways to get to know new people. One missing piece so far has been the idea of local discovery, which is what Urbantag excels at. As part of the deal, the Urbantag co-founders have joined the Tagged team.
