2014 has put an end to Bump and Flock

Little time has had to pass in this year 2014 for us to learn the first strange news, and indeed today we have learned that Google will shut down the applications Bump and Flock on the upcoming January 31 that it acquired just a few months ago for a price of between 30 and 60 million dollars. Both applications are very similar and allow the exchange of data between two smartphones by joining them or bringing them close together until they touch. Google's explanation for the closure has been very brief, alleging that from now on they will begin to focus on other projects that are already in development, which means that surely in a short time we will learn some news in the form of an application or software. bump cover Google announces the closure of the Bump service As we were already saying, the upcoming January 31 is the day chosen by the search giant to definitively shut down and remove both applications from Google Play and the App Store. By that day therefore we will be able to transfer our data to other applications or save them. Google has already indicated that from that day “all registered and stored data will be deleted without possibility of recovery”.
