I'd like to know where every acquired company on this list was located (when they were acquired-- city, state, country): http://is.gd/i4DL

On that page, research each company in the acquired column. Hint: you can oftentimes click on the "press release" or "TechCrunch" link to get the info required. Ultimately, I want a list of all of those companies with their location AT THE TIME OF THE COMPANY SALE. i.e. Where in the world were they located when their company was acquired?
