Yahoo! acquires 'Smartr Contacts' developer Xobni

Yahoo’s recent shopping spree isn’t over yet, as the company’s latest acquisition is Xobni, maker of email and address-book based plugins and apps.

Xobni was founded in March 2006 by Adam Smith and Matt Brezina in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The company moved to San Francisco in late 2006, and launched its first product, Xobni for Outlook, in 2008. It was built to offer faster searching of email archives (Xobni is “inbox” spelled backwards).

Since then, Xobni has released clients for Android, iPhone, Blackberry and others.
