Cloud computing giant Salesforce.com has acquired social media monitoring company Radian6 for approximately $276 million in cash and $50 million in stock, net of cash. In addition, approximately $10 million in stock and $4 million in cash will be issued to Radian6's founders (subject to vesting conditions over two years). Radian6 helps clients like Dell, GE, Kodak and UPS monitor, analyze and engage in 'hundreds of millions' of social media conversations. Salesforce argues that the acquisition of the company will enable it to enhance all of its products, including Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Chatter and Force.com.
