Yahoo Buys Mobile Syncing Company Verdisoft

Yahoo has quietly acquired mobile-syncing software start-up VerdiSoft, reports SiliconBeat. Yahoo completed the deal in February, but purposely kept it under wraps until yesterday, when founder-entrepreneur Marco Boerries’ name surfaced in connection to a new Motorola alliance. Boerries is now heading Yahoo’s Connected Life business unit.
VerdiSoft had developed server software that allows a person’s settings and preferences to follow them from office to cell phone, from device-to-device. This will presumably be used for various services from Yahoo across various devices.
