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

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?

Note, this is a followup question to the other question that I asked here:

Tip for best answer: M$30.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.
