Google Hires JustSpotted/Scoopler Team To Work On Google+

For the past two years, we've been tracking the team behind Scoopler. Originally a Y Combinator company that was one of the first startups in the "realtime search" space, they eventually pivoted last year to become a realtime celebrity geo-stalking service�called JustSpotted ? yes, really. Today, they're shutting down both services, as they note on their site. But they don't say why. Well, we know why. The team has been hired by Google to work on Google+. To be clear, Google did not acquire either JustSpotted or Scoopler, instead the acqui-hired the team consisting of�AJ Asver, Dilan Jayawardane and Benjamin Tauber, the founders of Scoopler, Inc.�?We?re looking forward to AJ, Ben, and Dilan joining Google and we think they?ll be a great addition to our team,? a Google spokesperson tells us.
