‘Twitter Acquires Cover, an Android Lock Screen App’ – ‘Mashable’

Seth Fiegerman says, “Twitter has acquired Cover, an Android lock screen app, the two companies announced Monday. Terms of the deal were not immediately disclosed.

Cover was founded by former Google employees and launched on an invitation-only basis in October. Cover displays the six apps on the Android lock screen that users are most likely to want to use, based on daily analysis of the user’s smartphone habits and the current context (whether you’re at home, work or driving somewhere). The app attracted “hundreds of thousands” of users prior to the acquisition“.
