Buddy Media, the company behind the nicely-funded AceBucks Facebook application, has acquired the Crushes application to add to its ever-growing repertoire. The amount for the acquisition was not disclosed, but Crushes reportedly has about 30,000 daily active users, which is about 3% of its total user base.
The plan is to integrate Crushes with AceBucks, of course, but not before it's merged with Buddy Media's Matches application, which has a considerably smaller user base. Crushes creator Patrick Stokes will joining Buddy Media as a senior programmer, joining the team in New York. Hopefully Crushes fetched a better price than the Advent Calendar application that was up for sale on eBay last week. I think Crushes has a wider(year-long) appeal for Facebook users, so I'm going to guess that it probably did get acquired for more than $8,000.
