Chime service reportedly bolstered with fresh startup blood
Amazon has reportedly made another acquisition to build up its communications service, Chime, by snagging a startup by the name of Do.com.
Chime is a part of AWS and it offers extensive videoconferencing capabilities and a cloud-based platform for organising and holding meetings.
Do.com would further bolster this real-time comms offering, as the startup’s web and mobile apps were focused on helping organise meetings, and the management of all manner of elements around them – for example prep notes, facilitating reports for non-attendees and so forth.
Note that this move was spotted by TechCrunch , and has far from been confirmed by Amazon. Indeed, Do.com has seemingly made moves to hide all the evidence that the tech site uncovered pointing to the deal.
That includes a Do.com blog post which announced the closure of the whole service following an acquisition by an unspecified firm – in fact the entire blog site has been taken down – and various LinkedIn staff profiles that indicate Do.
