Airbnb has acquired Localmind, a platform that allows users to share information in real time about what’s going on at a particular place, the company said today.

Localmind relies on check-ins from Foursquare and other services to determine who is at a particular place and delivers questions about the place to those users.

“This acquisition means that everything related to Localmind – including technology, intellectual property, product, and (of course!) the Localmind team – are now part of Airbnb,” the comapny said.

The Localmind staff is made up of Lenny Rachitsky, Beau Haugh and Nelson Gauthier.
