Summize Acquired by Twitter

Twitter has acquired Summize, a search engine for tweets and conversations. Summize.com is already resolving to search.twitter.com.

I was recently introduced to Summize by Dan White of CafeMom and have since loved the service.

The deal started with a conversation with Fred Wilson about how conversational search can evolve into navigation, about how important navigation becomes for UGC as you go mainstream — it concluded with the deal that was announced this morning. Betaworks is now a twitter shareholder, and excited to be one.John Borthwick, partner at Betaworks

Congratulations to Summize, Twitter and Betaworks teams on making a perfect acquisition. Also congrats to John Borthwick who is a partner at BetaWorks.
