SAN FRANCISCO (Dow Jones)--Facebook Inc. (FB) said Friday after the close of
the first day of public trading in its stock it has purchased Karma Science
Inc., a year-old start-up that offers technology for sending gifts through
mobile devices.
San Francisco-based Karma has developed technology that lets mobile users
send tailored gifts to each other--by giving recipients options to instantly
customize what they get, or exchange it.
Terms were not disclosed. Karma has about 16 employees.
In a blog post announcing the deal, Karma co-founders Ben Lewis and Lee
Linden wrote that "The service that Karma provides will continue to operate
in full force. By combining the incredible passion of our community with
Facebook's platform we can delight users in new and meaningful ways."
The purchase came on the first day of trading on the Nasdaq for Facebook
shares, which were initially priced at $38. After reaching as high as $45,
the shares closed only slightly above the IPO price at $38.23.
As of shortly after the close of the regular session, trading in Facebook
shares appeared to have been hampered by technical glitches.
In after-hours trading, the shares were recently unchanged.
