LinkedIn Buys CardMunch

LinkedIn has acquired business card scanning application CardMunch, and made the service free, according to CardMunch in a blog post yesterday. Financial terms of the buy were not disclosed. CardMunch was based in Palo Alto. As part of the acquisition, CardMunch has made its iPhone application a free service, allowing users to transcribe as many business cards as they like, free of charge. CardMunch previously charged a per-card fee to scan and transcribe business cards for users.
